do you quarantine your new additions?

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

Not that I want to dwell on the subject but I found the following quote somewhat appropriate:

Ya know, the worst part of QT is the waiting Anxious to get the new fish added to the DT
