    LFS quarantine options

    DD's selection is quite limited. I agree with you there. . While I understand my sample size is small (I've ordered 4-5 times from DD), Ive gotten healthy fish every time. I lost 1-2 due to some other reasons but not from them being sick. And yes, it would likely take a long time to stock your...

    LFS quarantine options

    If you're gonna buy from live aquaria, buy from Divers Den. Anything you buy from live aquaria (besides DD) comes from LA wholesale anyway. The good thing about them is they do guarantee for 14 days and they definitely honor it. You can even call them on day 13 or 14 if the fish happens to be...

    LFS quarantine options

    We have one that kinda QT's, but not in a separate tank so it isn't a true QT. Vets Pets. The owner there actually would not sell me a fish until he got it eating so he held, got it eating then held it for another week until the fish gained weight. If Im buying fish from an LFS, i only buy...

    Qt fish

    Im 0-2 with this fish with my QT regimen which is usually TTM and prazipro. Both were eating frozen, pellets, and flakes. Both actually had Ich also but they disappeared during TTM. Another factor is both were also Indo. After additional research, it looks that red sea or maldives angel are...

    Storing a Chiller

    Following. Im curious about the exact same thing. I recently picked up a 1/2 hp chiller but not needed at the moment. Ive flushed with vinegar/RODI solution, but not sure what to do about it now. I figured I was gonna let it sit again then flush again when its closer to summertime.

    QT - Prazipro or copper treatment first?

    I know alot of folks with this theory as well. You could be right. However, you also mentioned that you didnt QT the leopard wrasse so it couldve come from him. Ich couldve been present all along then the temp changes caused it to re-appear.

    QT - Prazipro or copper treatment first?

    As soon as theyre eating, I take another bucket and add airstone to it. After a few min, I add Formalin MS, then add the fish. The bath lasts for 30 min max (ive read some people do longer, upto 45-50 min). i have to agree that TTM is a PITA. However, my success rate using that is higher than...

    QT - Prazipro or copper treatment first?

    Well, when the only disease i really knew about was Ich, I didnt even try to treat even after seeing symptoms. I thought i could manage it. Now that Ive experienced velvet, I'm more careful. However, i still don't throw them in copper. I perform formalin baths, TTM, and prazipro and observe a...

    QT - Prazipro or copper treatment first?

    Velvet is the biggest worry along with Uronema, at least for me. Ive had velvet get me before in a QT tank that wiped it in about 2-3 weeks. My mistake was mixing almost 6-7 fish in there. Also had Anthis that came with Uronema. Luckily they were in QT by themselves. Anyway, my procedure is...

    Has anyone ever ordered from marineandreef.com or heard about them?

    Its a legit site. Ive ordered from them (no, im not marineandreef employee). However, their return/refund system is terrible, well non-existent.

    old school qt or ttm for new fish?

    I know some folks here dont like RC, but since thats where I learned about QT/TTM. They really have good info there. While its rigid, its educational. Anyway, all the fish that I bought have gone through TTM. Ive lost fish (mostly Anthias) since I couldnt get them to eat. Its a pretty painful...
