Of course not lol. I just added all my new fish from reef solutions within a couple weeks, and they actively treat with copper and other meds, so i feel comfortable adding them straight to my tank, and I am not adding any more fish!!!!!! If I did want to add any new fish then yes I probably will, but I am very happy with my collection of fish now and I don't want to jeopardize any of them by adding any newbies. I also stayed away from adding any tangs to my tank, considering I have always had problems when I added tangs.... chose to go for wrasses this time..... I figure id go with disease resistant fish
