A QT Question.

Christy, the LFS's I shop at are great, it's not a problem with the LFS. Obviously every fish we buy gets stressed from being moved to and from...........

So, in that sense.. what can ya do? I try my best at keeping stress to a minimal.

BMW has it right. Thanks Ed, Tony,... I will do my very best at finding a spot for a QT tank.

Yes he does. Since your tank has had Ick and has never been fishless (is that a word?) then it has Ick now. If your fish are healthy you may not see it on them but a new, stressed fish makes a great host. Only 6+ weeks without a host will rid your tank if Ick. A QT will help make sure it doesn't get brought back in after that.

Thanks Scott,

I will definitely do my best at finding a spot for a QT tank. Our house just is not fish tank friendly... at all. Nor are my parents

You may have some other options. I didn't read how big your new tank was going to be or when it was coming. Also, I don't know what corals you have. What are you planning to transfer to the new tank?

My new tank will be a 50g cube (24x24x20) I keep lots of corals, LPS, softies, SPS (majority) I plan on transferring everything by the end of April or sooner.. that's the goal anyhow
