Reuse Quarantine Tank

I purchase some neon tetra and place them in quarantine for 4 weeks. I treated with Aquarium Co-Op trio of meds and of the 25, I lost 5. Today I moved the rest to my main display tank and they are the first tenants.

I'll be getting another batch of neon tetra and was wondering can I use the same quarantine tank as is or do I need to disinfect it and start over again? I planned on doing at least a 50% water change in the QT (10g) and waiting a week before I get the next batch.

Always restart your quarantine tank. It gets rid of any unknowns if something happens.

You might not be risking your main tank by reusing your QT tank but you risk the new fish going in it. A 10gal is super easy to clean and start fresh for new fish.

I keep a few sponge filters going in my tanks so I always have a sponge filter for a QT tank.

After quarantining I boil the sponges
