Default Do you have a quarantine tank?
Just curious who has one, how does it compare to your main (gallon wise), do you keep any inhabitants in it, what's the setup etc.

And most importantly, has it ever actually saved your main from imminent failure?

And yes I realize that I spelt quarantine wrong. Sorry!

Sure do, it's a 21 gallons and it's up permanently. It has liverock and macro algae in it but no fish.

Damn..I just got a small mantis shrimp baby on some piece of liverock with zoa...I have put it in there and hope it will survive. It's only about one inch for now so that quarantine will be a temporary home for the mantis if it does survive.

Isn't that a refuge then? HEHE.

I have a 30g tank for quarantine my main tanks are 30g cube and 175g I have been lucky with my fish all have been healthy. To me it's well worth the time and money
