Do you have a quarantine tank?
Just curious who has one, how does it compare to your main (gallon wise), do you keep any inhabitants in it, what's the setup etc.
And most importantly, has it ever actually saved your main from imminent failure? And yes I realize that I spelt quarantine wrong. Sorry!

I have a 20 gal tank, heater & HOB filter that I can throw together in minutes if needed. When I need to set it up I pull water out of my display & depending on what fish is going into it I have a range of pieces of PVC pipe to drop in.

I did have a QT for a short time, but no QT now.....I feel that the QT process adds an extra stress to the fishes life....

I actually have 2 tanks that I use to quarantine fish or corals. One is my refugium that I can disconnect from my DT if I want. This gives me some flexibility to quarantine fish or corals as needed, and rescue any corals that might get picked on by my Pearlscales. Both are 30 g.
Also use it to move/clean live rock from my DT and see if any aiptasia reappear. My Pearlscales and Copperband have done a great job of removing them from my DT, but I am sure there are still some hiding out, and I want to totally eradicate this pest. I used to have hundreds of them all over the tank, until my butterfly fish got to work.
