Reef Sanctuary - View Single Post - A Fish Quarantine Process

Lee, this makes very good sense to me. I am very interested in setting up a reef tank and I'm doing my ahead-of-time research so that I'm prepared as I can be before I actually do it.

When I do set up my tank how do I set up a QT in conjunction with it? I would like to have the QT available when I'm ready to start adding fish. I understand about the sponge filter, and allowing it to get ready in the sump. Do I start the sponge when I actually first set up my display and sump/refugium system?

What about the other creatures that go into a display tank; corals, inverts, clean up guys, etc etc... do they need quarantine as well?

Any tips or advice you can send a newbie's way will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Barb
