Divers den coral procedures.

[rynon]

Hello again. It's been a while since I ordered anything but probably will be ordering again soon. I've read your QT procedure for your divers den fish but have no idea what you do with corals. I guess my question is this, do you dip the corals, do you observe the corals for a certain amount of time before offering them for sale, do you keep the corals in specific tanks (SPS in different tanks than LPS and softies). What about the aquacultured corals, are they kept in a separate system? I'm totally confused how you can "import" so many corals and keep them free of pests. Certainly a AEFW issue would be horrible for you, or Montipora eating nudibranchs, Redbugs, you name it, they'd all be awful for a retailer of your size.

So how do you insure your products are pest free. I know you recommend QT but surely you must do something upon receiving the coral.

I would also like to mention I am a VERY satisfied customer and THAT keeps me coming back for more, I encourage others to do the same!

Thank you very much!

Rynon,

Thank you for your post. The corals in our Aquaculture Coral and Marine Life facility are all carefully quarantined for at least two weeks before adding them to the Diver’s Den site and observed to make sure that they are as healthy as possible to ship to you. Please refer to these links for more information on our coral quarantine.

Thank you!! It seems I did not search far enough . The first link was very helpful and the second told me how you treat new arrivals and aquacultured corals. Thank you for your reply!
