Aquarium Advice Addict
Is it better to keep a QT up and running all the time, or just start when a couple weeks ahead of a new addition? I know that doesn't work for sick fish, since you won't have time to plan ahead for it.
Also, do you need to quarantine corals, or just dip them?
I have a spare 10 gallon tank/heater/powerheads that I could use if a permanent QT is the recommended route. Is anything needed in a permanent setup besides topoff, since it's going to be empty most of the time?
just have a heater and a powerhead in the QT tank will suffice. during the weeks that you don't have a fish in it, throw in some fish food to keep the bb happy.
for corals, dip them is sufficient IMO
