I believe RW quarantines their livestock before sale; IDK if that's still the case or not.

yea, I dont think they QT ALL fish, just the expensive and delicate ones that they condition and make sure are eating frozen.
For the past 2 months, I used my 12 gallon nano tank as observation QT with mixed results. I had 2 firefish jump out through a small crack in the lid. I kept a baby yellow tang and a midas blenny in it for 2 weeks (not at the same time). During the time in the nano, both fish hid all the time and looks scared / stressed. As soon as I added them to the 75g, they are swimming in the open and eating like pigs. So I don't think I will QT anymore. I will just limit my fish purchases to Reefwise and New Fish because IMO they have the healthiest fish stock.

Beautiful, how long those firefish are in your tank? I always thought that you need a mated pair, otherwise they will fight til there is one left. I really like your minimalist aquascape, and the negative space it creates. Plenty of room for fish. Any plans for more fish, if yes what kind next?

That guys been fine in my tank. My 2 tangs that are always kinda bickering keeps all the fish distracted, so no one else really misbehaves.

yea, the cosmetus stopped throwing sand after a few days so that was good. All 3 of my firefish are out a lot more now though as you can see in the video =). I was really worried because they would hid all the time and not come out to feed.

Thanks! I had the firefish for over a week now. I read a trio may work too in a bigger tank so I am taking a chance here. I do want more fish and thinking about either 2 more anthias of a different type or a flame angel. Both have their pros and cons. I am not sure if 2 more anthias will be too much since they are pigs with big bioload. I always wanted a flame angel but 50/50 chance it will nip at corals. For sure, I am getting a longnose hawkfish whenever Reefwise / New Fish / Aquapros get a small one in.

Some new pics. Tank is doing really really well. Picked up some great corals from fellow reefers. Only issue is one of the anthias is sick, looks super skinny and one eye is puffed up and white. Need to catch him and put him in my nano tank and prazipro. Otherwise, loving the Red Sea Reefer tank. Hoping to get some rock flower anemones in soon to cover the right side rock.

Thanks! Your purple stylo is doing great, you can see it in the Midas photo. I treated my DT with Prazipro in the beginning already but don't have enough right now to treat it again. So I rather treat it in the a small tank to makes water changes easier too.
