Quarantine

How long do you quarantine new fish before adding them to your reef tank
? In my books, they suggest aywhere from 1 to 6 weeks depending on the
author. What does the collective think ?

Also be sure to ask if it was kept in a treated tank at the store.. one of
the shops I buy from keeps all his tanks on seperate filtration, none of
that mega-store central filtration mess that spreads every bit of gunk
around from one infected fish to all the tanks in the store.. he keeps the
fish in FISH ONLY tanks and the ones it is safe to treat with copper, he
does so in order to help rid of anything the fish might have come to him
with.. he is always sure to remind customers to NEVER EVER put the water
from his bags into the tank at home.. I have never had a problem with fish I
have bought from him.
