So I have ran across 2 great buys from people shutting down their systems. Kicker is both have to be picked up TODAY...Here's where I'm unsure of best course of action. There are multiple corals in both systems and fish. Should I quarantine the fish and coral from each system together as they are now? Should I put all coral together in one quarantine? Fish in 2 different quarantine tanks? Fish can't go together...
Fish from tank 1
Royal gramma
Clownfish
Green wrasse

Fish from tank 2
Yellow wrasse
Pair of clowns
Fire fish
Blenny

Thanks in advance for any advice!
 
I would combine the fish into a single QT. The only problem you may have doing so is the clowns all being in the same tank. What size QT do you have?

Then put the coral into a different QT or even a Rubbermaid bin works as a temporary place to keep coral fallow for 76 days.
 
The 2 20s I have set up ready to go. The other tanks are dry.
 
Use eggcrate with 1/4" plastic mesh to divide the tanks if there are problems. You want to be able to treat all the fish if necessary or for your normal treatment for QT.
