Coral Quarantine Tank Help

[Titobattilocchi]

I'm setting up a 15 gallon quarantine tank and was wondering when I dip the coral what is the best treatment for that and what will it take care of, Will it take care of all pest problems or do I need to treat for more things. And if so what would be the treatment for them. Any help would be nice.

I dip my corals for 5 minutes in Tropic Marin Pro Coral Care and then another 5 minutes in Revive. This will knock out most pests but not all. Many types of eggs will survive most dips so there is no good substitute for QT. As far as listing every disease and its treatment you need to buy a book!

For softies and LPS dips work very good. I would say you can be fine without QT. For SPS corals there is no good substitute for QT. Dips can't kill eggs of AEFW which is worst pest ever and only one (BAYER) effective against red/black bugs. Some people I know just clip off bases with plugs and dip.

Could I get away with a smaller quarantine tank than a 15 gallon, I don't know if I will be having a hole lot of coral in their at once? Or should I just stick with a 15
Thanks for all of the Advice

A 10 gallon tank is fine. You want good water flow and lighting levels similar to what you have in your DT.
