Marine Velvet horribleness

It is good to see that you have decided to set up a QT and are recommending it to others.
I have a few other recommendations.
In the ensuing weeks, plan your tank. The regular visit you and your hubby make to the LFS returning with several fish should be a thing of the past.

Avoid difficult to keep species like Achilles tangs. There is a reason that fish like the achilles have been flagged red by most authors and experienced reefers. Sure, a few of them survive but most perish for no apparent reason and take their tank mates with them.

If your are going to start adding fish to your main tank in a couple of months choose a couple of hardy fish and observe them for several weeks. Only than start slowly adding some of the species your are more fond of to ensure that the disease cased by the stress in your previous tank does not resurface.

Best Wishes. I know what you have gone through.
