Suggestions for a QT tank.

[stoneriff]

Hello all. I need suggestions on size and components needed for a Quarantine Tank. I am setting up a 120, and I don't have a lot of room for a QT. Maybe 20 gallons at best. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I did a 20 long, with an aquaclear 30, and a powerhead.

The previous advice is great! Just go with the largest tank you can, as already stated in previous posts, hang on filter, power head, heater, thermostat, air pump w/air stone just in case you have to medicate for extra oxygenation.

Haha. Forgot to mention the heater.
Get a new filter sponge and put it in an established tank/sump for at least a few weeks to let it seed for the qt tank, otherwise you'll be doing constant water changes to battle ammonia.

If u don't have a tank to seed the sponge, find someone who is willing to do that for u.

Thanks. I didn't think of seeding the sponge.
