Can't Quarantine

[Reefermatt3]

So I jut set up my 40 breeder and I'm about to add fish. The only issue is that I'm not able to quarantine my fish due to money and space unless I use a 5 gallon bucket. Please help me...

if you have (2) 5g buckets you can use that for TT, you can also dose Prazi to avoid flukes in the DT as well. It will be harder to look at the fish but 5g buckets is ok for a short period of time. Just make sure you have prime and are ready for water changes when needed.

Petco sells 10g for $10.

Craigslist is awash with complete setups for pennies on the dollar, especially on the cheap/small end.

My 10g QT lives on top of a desk in a spare bedroom, you don't need much space.

you will save a ton of money in the long run by QT'ing. the cost of replacing even a single fish generally costs more than an entire 10g QT setup. one time cost except for the salt requirement.

Agree 100%
