Q-Tank
I was wondering if I use the main water out of the main tank for my Q-Tank how soon can I put fish in the Q-Tank? I was going to set up the Q-Tank today and I would like to put some fish in it on Tuesday. Also, I was going to put some Cycle® Biological Aquarium Supplement in the Q-Tank to help it along. Does that stuff really work or speed the process up? The Q-Tank and the main tank are salt water.
The main tank is 240gals and has been set up for a 1yr and 1/2 with the originall 6 fish still in it. Its time to add some new fish but I want to do it the right way. Thanks |

the established water will work. How long are you going to QT for? How big are the fish? What kind of filtration are you using? This is going to establish how the bacteria will function at removing the ammonia.

I set up my QT with water from my display tank. How big is the QT? What fish are you going to QT?
