quarantine system

[dmatt56]

Hello Everyone,

 

Does anyone have a quarantine system that they would be will to let me "rent out"? I want to pickup a couple fish, but I'd like to put them through a quarantine tank before introducing them into my softy tank.

 

By "rent out" I meant letting me place my new fish in your quarantine tank (at your house) for a week or so. I can supply the food, supplies, and money for your time.

 

I'm in Odenton, MD.

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

Too bad you're so far away... I have a 50-gallon stock tank set up as a separate system right now, with nothing but corals and rocks in it.

Does anyone worry about quarantining invertibrates? I plan to pickup some snails and hermits.

 

Thanks,

You should, I've gotten some pyramid snails in my system due to them hitching in on some rock or a snail.

I guess everything we add to our tanks can have hitchhikers on them. I have never done any QT on hermits but I do visual inspect the algae snails for the pyramidellid snails that Dave mentioned. I think buying local and visually inspecting the tank is a big step in making sure the livestock is clean.

Ive got a 5g QT still running in Annapolis but that's probably small for you?

If you want to QT properly though you're looking at up to 4-8weeks
