I finally put my last batch of fish in the display. Quarantined every fish, so the tank is disease free, and I plan to keep it that way.
The tank has been running for a year and a half or so, which, combined with the mantis shrimp picking them off occasionally, means I need to re-up on my clean-up crew. I plan on quarantining the crew, but I am a bit worried about the best methodology. I didn't quarantine the original clean-up crew because it hitchhiked with the Tampa Bay live rock, and I waited a while before adding fish.
The QT is a 40g breeder. It's bare bottom with an established biological filter. How would you quarantine sea cucumbers without adding substrate? There isn't more than a slight haze of algae on the glass due to it only getting ambient light, so how would you keep the snails and urchins fed? Will they eat nori strips?
Any other potential pitfalls?
