I got one right after the ban but it developed velvet and I lost it along with every fish in my tank.

Got this YT along with the blue hippo and sailfin from a fellow reefer here for a very good price. Just pulled them from 28+ days QT in copper to make sure there was no velvet or ich.

I was plaged by either velvet or ich for the first 5 months of starting my tank up... I bought two clown fish that had it and they died from it (didn't use to QT because I never did with freshwater and was lucky for years). Bought a Kole Tang and shrimp goby pair, added them to the display a couple weeks later, the tang got sick and died.

I then set up a QT tank and spent a full week trying to get the Goby out to treat and QT, I finally got him and was so relieved. Treated him and let the tank fallow for a full 90 days. Added him back and started QTing some new clowns and added them once they were finished and all has been well since.

Now I QT AND treat every fish before adding it to the tank. I also QT all coral and Inverts before adding unless I get them from someone I know and trust. Learned my lesson the hard way as most do I suppose. Definitely wasn't a fun one, nor was it a nice introduction to the hobby. It did give me plenty of time to focus on coral and I learned a lot during that time so all's well that ends well!

Sounds very similar to my story, LOL. Had a tank several years ago, never QT’d anything and never had any problems. Fast forward to now, I set up a new tank and first batch of fish I add get wiped out. Very heartbreaking. I ended letting the tank sit fallow and will now QT all new fish in Cu before adding to the tank.

Loving my Apex!! Recently added the feeder and tonight finally installed the LSM. Looking forward to seeing how the intensity of the moonlights varies with the moon cycles.

Few updated pics. Really need to get a filter to help with the blue.
