Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello,
I am setting up a new QT tank and want to run my specifications by you, collectively speaking.
This new project is due to a major Ick outbreak I am currently experiencing. Now that I understand importance of a QT I am ready to invest in one.
I intend to move my Fluval 304 (260 GPH) and Aquaclear 400 (428 GPH) from my main tank to the new QT tank. Then I will install a MR-200 (400 GPH) wet/dry filter with a Mag Drive 950 (800 GPH) on my main tank.
Here are my proposed tank specs:
Main Tank 55 Gal:
MR-200 w/ Mag 950
FB 300 Fluidized Bed w/ Aquaclear 302
CSL 18 Watt UV sterilizer (Inline with Wet/Dry?)
Aqua-C Remora Pro
AZoo Bio-Denitrator
QT 55 Gal?:
Aquaclear 500
Fluval 304
CSL 18 Watt UV Sterilizer (Inline with Fluval)
Generic Venturi Skimmer
Now the questions:
1. Am i missing anything?
2. What size QT do I really need for 2x Eel Gobies, 1x Flame Gobi Red, 1x Mandarin, 1xi Clown, 1xi Royal Gramma.
3. Will my infected fish live for a few days while the parts are shipped to my house?
4. Can I put my UV sterilizer inline with a wet/dry filter?
Sorry for all the questions. I want to do this right the first time.
Thanks in advance,
Van
