Quarantine ..... Do you or don't you?

[ScubaSteve]

I don't QT as I believe that it often stresses them out (as said previously). Stressed fish are more likely to contract something. I will QT, however, if I by from certain places that I know are bad for it or depending on the species of fish... I find some fish are just ich magnets.

Corals on the otherhand... I've learned to dip. Can't afford a coral QT but Coral Rx is waaaay cheaper than losing all my corals... Dark times those were....

I do not QT but I do dip corals with coral rx. I may be lucky because I do have good local fish stores in my area. The problem for me was this the lighting and water quality in my QT tank was never as good as the lighting and water quality in my DT. When it came to corals I found making the adjustment from crappy QT lighting to intense DT lighting was hurting the corals themselves too much. That being said every coral gets a good did before entering my system.
