Live Rock Quarantine

[rick rottet]

When quarantining large quantities of live rock, is it ok to quarantine it all together or should they be isolated piece by piece? Should larger pieces be quarantined before breaking to needed size for specimen attachment or should they be broken first and then quarantined?

[Anthony Calfo]

QT'ing all together is usually fine if there is adequate space and water flow around each piece (very strong water flow is needed).

The rock also needs to be suspended off of a bare bottomed tank so that some of the undesirables can drop down to the glass bottom (baited and otherwise) to be spotted and removed.

Kindly,
