Read QT article and have a couple questions

[spinman]

The QT article on this site seems very straightforward and simple.

Could someone recommend what specific sponge filter and airpump I'd need for a 10 gallon QT?

Also, I would prefer not to break down the tank in between fishes, as I'd like to get my stock into the main tank ASAP. If kept up and running, what maintenance needs to be on the QT?

Thx

Mike

Just your basic HOB trickle filter will do. I like the Millennium series like this.

Just feed the bacteria a couple times a week with a little fish food and do a small water change from time to time.
