Aquarium Advice Activist
Hi!
I have an old 10g tank with a heater and an old aquaclear 50 filter. I want to use it as a hospital/quarantine tank, and I'd like to see if I did my homework right.
1st, I set it up on a bare bottom, and I put a flower pot in there so my fish can hide.
2nd, I take a foam from my main tank and put it in the HOB filter of my Q tank,
3rd, I fill it with 5g from a water change, and 5g of new water. I setup the temperature properly
4th, I put the fish in, I add a copper based medication against ick (what medicine should I use?)
5th I change 1g everyday, observe the fish for signs of disease, try to feed it
6th, after a month, if it's ok I add it to my tank.
Am I wrong?
