The large quarantine room at Wharf Marine plays a very important part, as all imported fish are quarantined for two weeks prior to going on sale.

This takes part in four separate systems; two nine-foot quarantine tanks house the larger species. Live rock is very important in any reef system and we have four large curing vats with rock from Fiji, Java and Tonga being brought in weekly.

A seven hundred and fifty gallon per day R/O unit takes care of Wharf Marines and customers' needs (no tap water is used onsite). The filtration for the shop is also housed in the quarantine room: two very large sumps, four trickle towers, four six-foot protein skimmers and twenty 55w UV sterilizers make up this system.
