quarantine tank questions

gburton · 04/03/2007, 05:47 PM

We are close to adding fish and need to get a quarantine tank up and running. Does anyone know of a spot here on reef central or elsewhere where I can get info on what is needed as far as equipment, sand, water flow, etc? I looked in the diy section and the newbie section but no one has talked about it in a few days. Thanks

for your QT?...I would only run filter,...(suggest you get hob that gets cleaned out every change)) heater and light. Forget the sand, rock, etc etc....as you will need to dump out the water after each new animal is QT'd...
