Fish Quarantine Basics - Part 2 - Livestock Series

In the last episode, we explained why we quarantine and walked you through the set-up of your quarantine tank. Today, we continue the topic, covering how to cycle, our do’s and don’ts when adding your fish, diseases to watch out for, nutrients, and finally, transitioning fish into your reef tank.

PRO TIP:
► Quarantine tank light schedule should match your display tank's schedule.
► Feeding live brine helps new arrivals start eating. This also helps finicky eaters start to eat your prepared food.
► Watch your nutrients, but no worries until NO3 is greater than 30ppm. 30ppm = water change.

Thank you for bringing up Uronema. No one talks about this and I had never even heard of it until I lost a school of Chromis.

wow! I don't do any of that other than keeping them in a separate tank for a few months. I did the lights out for about an hour. I did just win an acclamation box at reefapalooza so I will be using that when my fish are ready to go in the tank. great video. thanks

Thanks for the video.

Do you normally just observe the fish and only treat if you see something? How long do you normally Quarantine m

I have been really struggling with deciding what to do during quarantine. I have done lots of research and there are many different protocols. I am leaning towards a conservative approach but would like some guidance.

Thanks again.

Ok, I have seen where corals are also I have not seen anything about quarantining inverts/cuc. So should you also quarantine them and if so is there any differences in method and what are you watching for? Thanks
