Can I make a QT tank with this?
10 gallon glass, heater, regular hang on filtration?
Or should I use a CPR bakpak skimmer that I have? Also please tell me if I'm wrong but no LS or LR right? What about carbon? Sorry I'm sorta new to QT tanks and I want to start doing things right with one. Thanks

Yes, you can use all of that, but if you are using meds take the carbon out. A BB QT is easier than LS or LR.

Do you run a QT at all times even when you are not adding anything or do you set it up right before you add something. I just lost two clowns which will made the first two fish in three years I have lost so I want to start QT before adding anything but I don't plan on adding anything for a while.

I've use a 20g with a HOB filter and heater but depending on what fish, a 10g could work.
Big thing is, is to keep an eye on NH3, it can build lethal fast (need keep up the water changes). |

I'd do water changes every week like I do on my other two tanks. I'll have nothing bigger than an anthias. I plan on getting another two clowns "I'm going for tank raised 100% for sure this time, no LFS, then afterwards a pair of anthias, a bundle of chromis, then finally in 6 months a mandarin.
