MAT Aquarium Quarantine and Holding Systems

Q: What size tank do I need?

There is no standard size list — tanks are drawn to your species, holding numbers and floor space, and to the flow your life support system can deliver.

Q: Why quarantine at all?

It stops infectious disease, parasites and injured stock reaching the display, and lets new fish settle to new water parameters and processed food before they go on show.

Q: Can the same tank be used for treatment?

Yes — when not in quarantine service the tanks work as healing or holding tanks, so only affected fish are medicated instead of the whole display.

Q: What are they made from?

Welded polypropylene, which is low maintenance, chemically stable against aquarium medications and suitable for marine or fresh water.

Q: Do they come with filtration?

The tanks are supplied as vessels; external filter housings are available, and we can size and quote the matching life support system alongside them.

Q: What shapes are possible?

Rectangular quarantine and holding tanks, cylinder quarantine tanks, lobster and shell tanks, and balance tanks — all made to your dimensions.

Q: How do I get a price?

Request a quote with your species, holding numbers, available floor space and the flow available and we will come back with a drawing, price and lead time.
