it happens and it sucks thats for sure, at least now being through it once before you have a better understanding. how come you cant set up qt tank?? hypo is the best choice for prevention but as good as it is i dont do it, i dont buy a whole lot of fish anymore im a coral guy but when i do buy fish i prefer to buy off friends or at least healthy lfs i dont shop at dives and i buy fish suited for my tank. and i guess the old saying if its too good to be true it is lol you know when some low traffic lfs gets in a huge fish order and has something youve wanted for so long for so cheap so you cant resist and then a couple weeks later your kicking yourself in the butt for going there lol

i do feed garlic reguarly though and keep a low bio load so im guessing a combination of the 2 is whats working for me

I used to have a quarantine tank but most of them died in a week - from stress - I guess. Most of fish that I wanted/bought were from LFS because I have no luck to compete with another canreefers here. If they were not gone too fast, it was because too far away not worth a ride just for a fish.
