Ive read and heard mixed opinions about this....what would you guys recommend? My tank is at the end of its cycle, so Im on the fence about whether or not i should put the soft corals in a separate tank for the remainder of the time until the tank is ready for stocking!
Is the 2 week acclimation/quarantine a must?

If your tank is at the end of its cycle, you should be fine as long as all of your test are good. Have you also been dosing anything (zooplanktin etc)?

Do you have any fish in the tank?

As long as your nitrites and ammonia are undetectable and making sure your pH, Alk and temperature swings are in the right parameter the coral will be safe.

Make sure to look into the requirements to keep your new speciment alive and happy.
