quick question about my QT

doox00 · 06/21/2006, 08:55 PM

I am picking up 2 firefish goby's tomorrow.. so want to make sure my QT is ready to go.

I have had my QT tank (10 gallon) up for 2 or 3 months, has a big aquaclear 110 on the back, with the cermanic bio ball thingys, sponge, and just tonight I added some carbon in it, I have a powerhead and a heater, plus some pvc elbows in there for the fish to hide.

I have a couple times a week been dropping some pellets in there to build and maintain a bacteria colony. I did just buy a sponge filter tonight and put it in my sump on my main 90g tank to build bacteria on it as well.

I did a 75 percent water change tonight in it also in preperation for the new fish. Is my QT ready to work?

Sounds great bro most don't keep food in it and when the put fish in creates new cycle but sounds like you are right on track good luck.
