30 DAYS of Saltwater Fish Quarantine - Newbie Tank Build

[@stevenpavan327]

This is informative and entertaining. You guys should pitch a sitcom around fishkeeping. You could call it Fish Happens staring Jimmy and Mr. Saltwater Tank as his imaginary fish keeping guru and friend.

WE love Jimmy! This series is fantastic!!

I love watching this dude experience it all.

[@3DKen210]

Love the videos and learning from real experiences and not just someone talking about it. Thank you and I look forward to more of these.

Loving this series! I just filled my first salt water tank with water yesterday! Will be getting salinity right today and then starting to cycle it so it’s ready for some corals 🥰

Have fun!

Great discussion on the use of medicated treatments. Their is also the extremely important discussion point of resistance to any given active ingredient over time: Antibiotics, fungicides, dewormers and numerous other compounds have all been shown across nearly every other field they've been used in, to present a risk of pest's and pathogens building resistance to them. Most of which is due to improper use. Safe practice is to use the recommended dosage for the recommended period of time, and to rotate products (changing modes of action). In contrast, using a half-strength prophylactic, treating for a quarter or half the recommended exposure period, or always using the same product over and over with nothing else... Those are the exact behaviors which lead to resistance in agriculture, professional aquaculture, veterinary science, and human medicine. I don't know about you, but I'd rather not have resistant Ich, resistant Brook, or resistant flat worms. And those are all plausible in a hobby where aquarist's half-ass prophylactic treatments. I say that not to detract from this series. I'm enjoying this series. I say that because it's the responsible guidance discussed in professional settings where these kinds of treatments are used. And I have yet to hear them discussed in a hobby setting. It's also not an argument against prophylactic treatments, it's an argument to use them responsibly. As you said here: "you want to treat it properly, and wipe it out". This topic is something to take quite serious, or the hobby will only make potentially worse pests over time and have less tools to deal with them.

Are these methods that can be used with freshwater fish also?

“…along with some water (which is no big deal).” Well done, sir - seems you’ve been married for a bit. 😂

[@talk2yous6]

So I’m setting up my QT …Should I add bacteria or just do water changes?

3 clowns are not the best idea since two will pair and the third may not survive.
