i need to set up a quarantine tank due to a small ich outbreak in my tank. i am just curious the best way to do this. i was thinking about just using a small 10 gal tank. put a thin layer of crushed coral in it and adding some dry rock. i was going to take 5 gal of water from my established tank and then use 5 new gallons of water. and just run a penguin 350 HOB filter with some carbon sponge and some filter floss. i am just curious if this tank will still need to cycle? there wont be any live rock in it. and i will be using the cycled water. i was gonna throw a few pieces of the rubble from my sump in the filter aswell for some of the beneficial bacteria. i will do the weekly water change with my main tank untill the ich is gone.
does that seem like a sound plan or am i missing anything?
thanks in advance
