![]() If you quarantine corals before you put them into your main tank their should be no problem. You can also do a dip on them like you do to freshwater plants. I would however want to check water quality of the tank and how it has affected the coral since it has affected the fish. unless the fish were just added.

![]() Thanks for the replies.
As for setting up a QT tank for corals such a acros, what's required. Would be for frags so already have a small tank (10g) a small HOB filter but what for lighting? Would something like a screw-in CF (such as these) be enough to keep the frags happy? |

![]() Yep...got no fish in the tank anyways but all you have to do is QT them. They can easily take a couple of hours.

![]() My QT tank is a 40g shallow tank...drilled with a sump. I went large so I could QT colonies (read about red bugs and acro eating flatworms...to start) and they should all be QT'd.....I learned the hard way.....BUT my lighting is a 250w halide, I have a skimmer and good current.....plus excellent water quality.
In answer to having that bulb as a QT tank bulb for acros...I wouldn't think that was ideal...I QT my corals for a few weeks now....so it wouldn't remotely work....maybe someone else will chime in with experiences they have had...but any QT and frag systems have MH lighting

![]() I always cut frags off whatever they're mounted to anway, so taking a frag like this wouldn't be an issue.

![]() I have never lost a fish to ich. I think ich is kind of like fleas on a dog if the fish has a strong immune system it can fight them off...marine velvet on the other hand is a nasty parasite
