i have a 75gal tank that i am slowly setting up. i would like to install my accessories and begin cycling in a couple weeks. after heavily researching, i have come to the conclusion that i will NEED a QT. anyway, during my years of FW i never used a QT and i never introduced any diseases to my tank. Ok, call me lucky. well the SW fish, as i ascertain by my research, really should be quarantined. so i have been convince to get a QT.
questions...
what size tank should i get? for me, the smaller the better - can i get by with a 10gal tank?
can the tank be bare (no substrate, no rocks)? i know that many members suggest pipes and things for the fish to hide in.
what kind of filtration should i use in the QT? (i would like to keep cost down as i am sparing no expense for my display tank).
after cycling my display tank, is it considered bad to fill the QT with the display tank water?
what accessories are a MUST for the QT? (heater, etc)
