quarantine tank

jakkalofv · 09/11/2007, 06:38 PM

I had not originally planned on setting up a quarantine tank, but now after some research I am seeing that it's a valuable investment. So it will be for a a 55g reef tank and I want to know a few things...

should the qt tank be set up all the time or do I take it down when I don't need it?
what do I need to include in the tank (filters, powerheads, lighting, etc)?
and anything else I should know?
