![]() QT is ideal, though not all use one every time there's lots of us kicking ourselves we didn't.
When I did run mine, would just set up when needed. Have a foam block sitting in my sump so I can place in a Aquaclear type HOB filter, would use water from the many display. Now I have can just isolate my fuge, drop in a heater and HOB skimmer and I'm set (if things go bad prepared to toss the LR and macro). Big caution, check your water often. Amazing how fast ammonia can build up to toxic levels.

![]() I definitely would recommend running a quarantine in order avoid adding disease to your main system. I would also recommend doing something with your corals as well, depending on where you shop from. I've recently run into an LFS that puts sick fish in their coral tanks until they heal up, but also keep other fish in the coral tanks as well, thereby keeping the diseases alive.

![]() I don't quarantine, and never had any problems. I however buy my livestock and most corals from reputable LFS.
For example, Gold's in Calgary does all the work for you and will treat any fish needed, also won't let any fish go until they are fully eating. So I have needed no quarantine.
