Stocking tank after fallow period

[OceanL0ver]

Now that my tank has been fallow for nearly 80 days, I am wondering how I can add coral and invertebrates in the future without adding disease into my tank. Not that I’m going to add a bunch of stuff to the tank now I’m just wondering now that I have killed off my parasites how can I maintain this for the rest of my reef keeping career. I’m afraid of introducing ich or velvet anytime I add things to my tank.

Is there a quarantine process for invertebrates and coral?

Run a separate tank for 76 days. Add any corals or inverts to it. Count the 76 days from the last time anything wet was added.

Sounds like I need to set up a frag tank.

We should coordinate our "shifts" on here.

Coral and invert into other separate tank. Coral can be count by individual for 76 days.
If the invert (CUC) is from a fishless facility, in theory you can add it directly to the tank. I did that. My CUC was bought from Reefcleaner which they state it is a fishless facility.

They don't hold CUC for very long before selling it.

I added them at around 30 days mark of 83 days fallow. Now fallow is ended for 3 weeks and all fish are good. I bit the bullet..

Main rule is no wet thing add before their 76 days QT.
