Quarantine tank

[fleek]

Hi bros,

How big should a quarantine tank be? I have this ultra micro tank about 10 litres with skimmer. I can also put a chiller and a mechanical filter that is lying around. Is myazin from waterlife recommended for quarantine? I have this problem of after introducing a new fish, the old fish die and there goes on. And I only have 3 fish in my 30 gallon tank. Well now left one after an unfortunate event that my chiller went crazy and temp was fluctuating like crazy. I guess that killed my blue tang and maroon clown fish. It is not not I did not try, bought a second hand chiller and died on me after 30 mins. Managed to repair it myself then but too late.

How much fluctuation was the temp?

IMO, high temp doesnt really kill blue tang and maroon clown. I used to have FOWLR with numerous numbers of diff tangs and crowns, under no chiller conditions.

They survived from start till decomm for more than 2 years.

Hence, perhaps, the cause of death could be water parameters?

bro this kind of issue might happen when you never cycle your tank enough and there is an ammonia spike.

try to check your parameters and cycle the quarantine tank.

My Ammonia is zero all the way, water is totally clear. I use RO/DI water for top up. But temp is fluctuating very much from 30 ~ 25 degrees within an hour, up and down.
