QT Setup

[RuRoo]

I've been reading how beneficial QTs are and how annoying and heartbreaking it is to have pests and bugs in your system if you don't quarantine properly so thought I'd give it a try. Here's my basic QT setup. Just a 5.5 gallon from Petco, LED light, a heater, pump, thermometer, air bubbler, a few rock, and a frag tray.

What do you think?

Exactly. I'm going to be using this mostly for coral frags. I'm maxed out on fish.

Good call Ray, I'm picking up my frag tank/qt this friday. All corals will go in there prior to my display so I can watch them.

Sweet. How many gallons will it be?

So im curious...... what if you put something in your QT tank that has a parasite or pest that made it through your dipping procedure? At that point you would potentially infect the whole QT tank ya? So would you just plan to treat the whole tank at that point, toss out the frags of same type, re-dip everything in the tank over and over?

Yeah pretty much. Better to treat a small tank than your main display tank.
