I totally get where you're coming from. I had a similar issue a while back with parasites hitching onto corals, and it's always nerve-wracking. I usually dip my corals in a pest treatment solution before adding them to my tank, just to be safe. It doesn’t guarantee 100% protection, but it’s helped me a lot in reducing the risk. As for the space issue with quarantine tanks, I’ve been there too, and it can be a hassle. Honestly, I’ve found it helpful to ask local coral sellers about their quarantine practices, some of them do longer quarantines or treat all their stock. Might be worth checking out in your area if you’re not able to set up your own QT tanks.]]> Tue, 21 Jan 2025 13:44:23 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=86373&PID=639367&title=quarantined-corals#639367 <![CDATA[Quarantined Corals : I have close to a fishless frag...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=86373&PID=638544&title=quarantined-corals#638544 Author: HOMIE4LIFE

Hello all,

So about 9 months ago I had a bout with Marine Velvet. It killed all the fish in my tank save one clownfish. Following Humble.fish and quarantine procedures. I have let the tank sit fallow for 80 days, and quarantined all fish using copper to eliminate parasitic infections. 

Since then, I have been extremely careful as to not introduce future parasites into the tank. My question here is. Is there anyone in this group who runs fully quarantined tanks and sells corals from these systems, or runs Fishless coral tanks where corals sit for over 78 days? 

I know this is a lot and I don't really have the room to do set up QT tanks myself anymore. and since Ich, and Velvet can stick to frag plugs, coral skeletons and random inverts that may hitchhike with a coral, I don't want to take that chance.
