For how many years exactly? I did this and bragged about it for 15 years. Last 2 years I've lost over 4k in fish. Can't even calculate the cost of my time..

I get the whole thing with it being difficult and costly, but most people at least agree they should QT and acknowledge the risk. To just blatantly snub it is arrogant. Not saying anyone here is actually doing that, but I know many that do.

The poll isn't up

I do tank transfer, have not lost a fish due to this method yet and have been doing that for a few years.

I havn't been in the hobby long, but my research tells me that quarantine is a "best practice". All my fish have been through quarantine 4-6 weeks. I have 2 in there right now.

I'm happy to see more than 1/3 of reefers are quarantining.

Me too. Although the CanReef community does not reflect the marine aquarium hobbyist world as a whole (or even Canada-wide). I've always found the average CanReefer is not the average person to walk through the door of a LFS.

I was on RC last night and there is a multitude of threads there about whether to QT or not and one of the longer threads about 80+ pages somebody figured out around 40% QT while the rest did direct dumping or a variation of QT
