Poll: Do you use a quarantine tank?

I do now, the fish I buy now are too expensive/personally attached to take chances with. Back when I kept mostly freshwater live bearers, I only had one or two tanks anyway, it was hard to keep a quarantine tank. When I began expanding the types of fish, they started getting to be as expensive or more than the tanks themselves, it became crucial. Especially when I got into the longer lived fish. When you've had a particular fish for over ten years, you tend to get pretty attached, even if it was relatively inexpensive to begin with. Oscars are a good example.

All the fish I buy have been at the fish store for at least a month...and I watch them closely there. I have several fish tanks over 55 gallons, and I have never quarantined a fish. Because nothing bad has ever happened. I've only had ONE ich outbreak and it happened to fish that had been in the tank for a year (more or less). I do not have a quarantine tank and I have large, expensive fish and corals. ( I do plan on a 20-30 gallon tank for quarantine...and that would be suitable because all of my fish are four inches or smaller when I purchase them. Any fish that gets sick in my large tanks...will be treated as best as I can..unless anyone wants to help me catch them...) I just put the fish/coral into the main tank after I acclimate it and hope for the best...

I only have saltwater tanks...55 gallon reef, 55 gallon reef, 75 gallon FOWLR, 210 gallon reef, 20 gallon FOWLR AND A SNAIL. and I'm saving up for either a 125 or a 180 that will be a reef tank.

I do not really have a quarantine tank. I have a 36 gallon and a 20 gallon reef. anything that puts my 36 gallon at risk will go into the 20 gallon. I do have a 10 gallon that was intended as a Q-tank that I keep in a closet but it currently has live rock curing in it. New live stock that might be a risk spends some time in the 20 gallon first. I'd much rather have a nudi infestation in my 20 gallon tank in my bedroom than I would my full reef 36 gallon in the living room.

If your tank is completely vacant then you don't need one, but if you are to add up a fish in your community tank, please quarantine it for 7 days minimum, a good 10-15 gallon would be fine as your "clinic tank", heater, filter and water from your main tank are a must requirement.. First 3 days, the fish should not be fed.. Patience is very important in fish keeping, you may find dogs and cats easier to pet..

I just have one tank, 120L. No quarantine tank.. I know I should but that would cost more and take up room.. I just hope for the best and keep my tank nice and clean :P so far nothing has gotten sick but if it did, I'd just medicate the whole tank
