who doesn't QT their fish?

[scuzy]

jsut wondering who Qt their fish and who just tosses(acclimate) it in?

 

[Elite]

I don't.. But I normally buy fish from another reefer and not from the store..

 

[tuberider]

I can't or I'd have to have a huge setup at home that the GF would not be too stoked about. I do dip my fish though.

QT in small tank

 

[xinumaster]

I don't QT fish.

 

[Vincerama2]

I would think that a 10g tank with a standard aquaclear type filter and heater should be good enough!

How long do you QT for? 1 week?

[Apon]

I do QT...been burned to many time by bad fish.

 

[sfsuphysics]

What do you QT in?

 

[Tumbleweed]

Some times I do but most of the times I do not. I feel bad seeing them in that small QT tank is depressing and I want them to have room to swim in the big tank.

acclimated first and fresh water dip for fluke for 15 minute and in the tank they're go.

I don't. I used to but now I don't add many fish anyway.

 

[tuberider]

I use different dips for different things, I used to rely on FW dips used the same way as Lap described. Lately though due to plague level proportions of flukes coming from one of our local wholesalers (not ASAP), I've been using Prazi Pro with pretty good luck.

4 weeks i make sure the fish is eating and no sign of illness.

 

[sfsuphysics]

I just don't buy fish anymore.. perfect way to QT

i am qting in a 45 gallon tank.

 

[pixelpixi]

I QT. Every fish I've gotten recently has had ich, so I'm really glad I do. I keep a little 5 gallon tank running at hyposalinity with a sponge filter and a heater.

I've also been keeping a coral QT tank, but my coral QT period keeps getting shorter and shorter. It's hard to keep water quality good enough for demanding corals in such a stripped down system. One other thing I've started doing is remounting new corals on clean frag plugs. The idea is that things like ich which can be transmitted on frags will be on the frag plug more than on the coral itself.

I only QT store bought fishes. No QT for fishes bought from another reefer.
