Im about to eat dinner and on my phone but remind me and ill show you the equipment I use and meds in my qt. An aquaclear is great if just observing in qt but overkill if treating with meds.
I was actually just thinking, and dinner at 2 in the morning lol? I will use an AC for observing quarantine and having to treat meds I will use sponge filter. So I will always have a sponge filter in my sump as well as an AC.
