Hello all...
I was wondering how all of you felt about hospital tanks. I have a few friends here in Alabama that have them and I get all kinds of conflicting info.
in a nutshell it seems to me that when a fish needs some type of treatment and it is moved to a different tank, the stress from the move kind of does them in...out of 8 separate cases I know of only 1 fish recouperated...I would venture a guess that more fish are saved by treatment in a main tank where at least they feel a bit more secure...
aside from the obvious (copper in a reef system) where do ya'll stand on this issue.
Lets get a good round table going here..I'm really interested..
