I need to get my QT together. Show me your QT setup.

Also share your QT procedure(s) please.

Thanks,
Chris

I don't have a picture, but I use a 20gallon tank bare bottom with pvc for hiding places, a heater and a biowheel hob filter. Thats it.

I don't have mine setup yet, but I have 2 x 20L tanks, 1 for fish and 1 for corals.

The fish QT has an aquaclear HOB and a koralia 2 for circulation. Jager heater. Barebottom with pvc pieces.

The coral QT has a koralia 3, jager heater, and nova 2 x 24w T5HO fixture with 10k bulbs. Barebottom with pvc/eggcrate support to place frags on.

Chris, I use an Oceanic 50 for QT.
When it's for fish, I use a dual biowheel, UV, Coralife 150 skimmer, heater, MJ1200, 2 Home Depot shoplights with refugium bulbs, and PVC for hiding places.
When it's for corals, I use the Coralife 150, MJ1200, IceCap 250MH ballast with an Aquaconnect 14K bulk in a DIY lambenarc reflector, and a eggcrate rack to set the corals on.

I am always interested in people's QT tanks for corals. How long do you leave the corals in QT?
What do you watch for while the corals are in QT?

Hey thanks Mike. So you didn't have any kind of sump for your equipment and no skimmer on there either? How long did you keep the frags in there?
