Quarantine Poll

[Samw]

James, I agree Q tanks can be helpful. I was just replying to your point about a heathy fish from a store dying at the customer's tank. If the customer isn't keeping the right conditions for his reef in the first place, then putting the healthy fish in a Q-Tank isn't going to help either since after it goes out of the Q-Tank and into his reef, it'll die anyways. I'm just questioning how putting a healthy fish in a Q-Tank will help in this particular case since you used this as one of the reasons for a Q-Tank. I don't disagree with your other points.

Let me put it another way. If the customer's main tank is the real problem, then putting the fish from your store into his reef isn't much different than putting the fish from the Q Tank into his reef. The extra step of acclimating it to another system first isn't going to save that fish.
