Q-tank questions... bare bottom qtank with LR?

[Florida8]

Just curious if he or any other fish comes down with Ick, I think I see a spot, is that LR or base rock I am using need to be fallow as well for 8 weeks after he is cured before new fish come to the qtank or should I just use dry base rock and rotate it and sun dry it between uses? I'm using a 12gallon mini bow with CF and HOB.

Thanks

LR should not be used for a QT. It's best not to use any rock at all in a QT. Nothing porous except the sponge of the filter. Flower pots and PVC pipe make nice hiding places for the fish and easy to sterilize between uses of the QT.
