29 gallon for QT'ing - Aquarium Advice

bound_for_obx · 09-20-2004, 05:58 PM

I have a 29 gallon tank, heater, glass canopy, and strip-light that I want to set up for [acronym:85262c0a17="quarantine or quart depending on context"]QT[/acronym:85262c0a17]'ing a couple of Occellaris Clownfish. What should I be using for filtration? I was thinking about getting an "Aqua Culture" hang on back filter from walmart and setting it up in the main tank for a week or two and then transferring it over to the 29 [acronym:85262c0a17="quarantine or quart depending on context"]QT[/acronym:85262c0a17] when I bring the fish home. Good Idea? Any suggestions?

I use an Aquaclear mini for [acronym:52de94b177="quarantine or quart depending on context"]QT[/acronym:52de94b177]. I like it because you can fill the basket with whatever you want, unlike some other proprietary [acronym:52de94b177="Hang On Back"]hob[/acronym:52de94b177]'s. If this [acronym:52de94b177="Hang On Back"]HOB[/acronym:52de94b177] is similar it should be fine. 2 weeks on the main tank should also be sufficient.
