question about a quarantine tank

[Brooke24]

So, here is my stock list for the tank I’m about to fill:
I have a 90 Gal reef ready;
Yellow tang
Scissor tail dart fish trio
Clown pair
Banggai pair
Flame angel
Blenny
Couple wrasse
Hawkfish
how big of a quarantine would I need for all fish above??

Are you planning to put them all in qt at once?

Not initially I mean if they somehow got ich or velvet and spread to everyone, I would move them to a quarantine. I’m buying a tank and an hob to be safe. I’m buying from a trusted lfs that quarantines so I don’t need to I just don’t know what size tank I would need for all those!^

Maybe a 20 gallon tall, I like to using the air sponges for my QT, you can seed it in someone else's tank.

Sweet! I have two tanks, just never quarantined before cause my 15 g only has two clowns. Setting up my 90 currently. You think a 20 Gal tall would be able to fit all those guys?

A lot of people have had to learn this lesson the hard way, including me.

I would put up a qt tank if I could. Believe me lol, I know all the reasons why I should and would. I’m 16 and live with my parents, they don’t believe in quarantine tanks and stuff like that- probably don’t even think fish get sick lol. My parents wouldn’t allow me to put one up, since I have my 15 g tank, a 90 g tank, a bird and two reptiles.

I get it. I got my first tank when I was 14. I've been hooked ever since. Just buy a couple fish at a time and let your tank adapt to the bioload slowly. Start with a pair of hardy clowns and let the tank stabilize with them for a month (after you cycle the tank).

Definitely will! Thank you

A 20 gallon tall should be fine, I have had more fish in a 10 gallon tank for way to long, so yeah it will work. I would also get some Methylene Blue made by Kordon, put that in the tank when you put the fish in, it is like ink do not wear white clothes or get it on the carpet.
