Aquarium Advice Regular
I believe I understand the premise of a hospital tank. Keep sick fish away from healthy, & acclimate new tank mates. ( im sure im glossing over this) But I am weighing the pros and cons. What is an acceptable size for a hospital tank? If one tank has to be maintained two is twice the work, and in a smaller tank even more labor needs to be invested. If it is used for acclimation how do you ensure your water is consistent with both tanks? My question to the forum is.... is it worth the extra time and commitment? Lastly, if I have a 55 gal now what would be a adequate hospital tank (ie 20 gal???) I know this is alot of questions but the caffeine is really kicking in now. Thanks for your input
