Synopsis:
The goal of a quarantine system is to check the Koi for disease, not stress them until they develop a problem! Have you always wanted a quarantine system that would be easy to maintain, keep good water quality, and be relatively inexpensive? Wouldn’t it be nice if it also doubled as a tank for sick fish, or a growing tank for young fish? Ah – “too difficult,” you say. NOT! This document describes in detail a system that has been tested and improved on for years!
