You Have A Quarantine Tank For Corals ?

Other than having a coral frag box inside your display,
do you have a dedicated quarantine tank for all,....your corals,
before placing them in your display ?

If so, tell us what you have as a system, and post photo's if you can.

Following. I plan on setting one up this year. Not going to be anything special; tank, heater, HOB filter, LEDs, powerhead.

Got a coral introduction tank where all corals I get get dipped before going in, another dip in a week and one more a week later before corals go up to the display tank. I've also improved my lighting and water quality in the Fish introduction tank so any frags that have pests on the initial dip are thrown there if I don't wan to risk infecting any corals in the coral introduction tank. then after few dips they make it to the introduction tank when proved clean.
Coral introduction tank is an old 3 partition 30 G sump I had on hand it has the following:
-Sand bed in both partitions where I have corals as I will have some wrasses there, lots of LR currently, will reduce those a bit to have a rack to hold corals instead.
-Bubble magus skimmer that I modded with an Eheim pump works perfect.
-4 T5 light fixture. might be replacing that with an LED solution.
-couple of small powerheads for flow in the partitions holding corals.
-small return pump pumping water from skimmer partition on left to last partition on right.
Water changes are done from the DT to keep water parameters similar and if I have a lot of corals in there for longer time then a quick check of Alk Ca and MG is made and adjustment is done to keep parameters close to the DT.
Will post pics when back.
