QT Help/Suggestions please
What is the best way to set up a QT? I have been told to use a filter with ammonia chips running through it, that turned out to be a failure and had to put the fish into my display because of ammonia build up.
I have also been told to buy a sponge filter, take the sponge off and let it get seeded in the sump. Does that work? If so how long should I let it be in the sump before it`s ready to keep a 29g QT from ammonia build up?

This simple 20g has worked well for me for 6 fish (each at LEAST 4 wks in QT each).

Now that looks like you leave that up permanently? Maybe I should just find a spot and put my 29g there permanently?
