How many people quarantine their inverts?

Aquariust · 08-10-2001, 05:38 PM

Hello all, just curious to see who QT's their inverts before putting them in the main tank! What kind of QT tank do you have, what eqipment is in there, and what kind of lighting?

Thanks All!

I would be interested to know how many people use a Q tank for fish. I haven't used one in 10 years., not saying its right or wrong.

I use a 10 gal with no substrate as a q-tank for fish only. I have never used it for inverts. I learned my lesson the hard way by being too lazy and dropping a fish directly into my FO. Needless to say I then had my 1 and only outbreak of ich because of this.

I quarantine all of my new fish, but none of my inverts.
