How to Quarantine

[Pansy-Paws]

Here is our QT routine (don't have inverts or corals):

• QT tank is a 72 gallon bowfront, QT period is 8 weeks
• proprophylactic treatment with chloroquine phosphate, followed by Prazi-Pro (sometimes I use a Prazi-Pro dip rather than treating the whole QT)
• monitoring of ammonia (test strips and badge), temperature
• addition of Amquel-Plus as required if I don't have a water change ready to lower ammonia (generally, 30% water change twice a week)
• Aquaclear HOB filter (pre-seeded sponge from DT), heater, CF lights on timer, assorted PVC tubes
