Quarantine tank question
Should you have your quarantine tank in the hyposalinity mode when you get you new arrivals? Or with regular salinity? I would think just to be sure, you might as well just give them the hyposalinity treatment from the get go. Is this a good idea?
Thanks

I asked a question along the same lines yesterday. Here's the thread hopefully it helps you.

Thanks for the link, but it doesn't address the hyposalinity question.

What I got from the reply's was that your q-tank should be the exact same water as the tank the fish will be moving into. If you have to hyposalinity then you would set up a hospital tank with new water. At least that's what I got from it.

In my Q-tanks I have always started with the SG to match my main tank. I only lower it if I find that the fish needs to be treated with it.
