im definitely gonna run a QT first one will definitely be just for snails and crabs for a good 30 days just to be safe then maybe a fresh water rinse
then im change that tank into copper tank with a few new fish im planning to buy
lol seriously literally the worst reefing thing just makes it such a pain in the azz surprised they havent made something like they got for dogs and fleas take a medication gone for good

what about inverts i was thinking of buying a large snail hermit cleaner crew how would you treat those from not carrying an eggs? humblefish says 70 day QT for those
