Qt and hospital tanks don’t have the ability to process ammonia and nitrite like our display tanks do since there is barely any area for bacteria to colonize in a bare tank. They require daily water changes to manage these parameters.

Last year had 3 fish in it and test where good just little no3. Just worry it goes to high before I get back. If I put little bit off rock out my main in qt would that help

If you are treating in the tank, you should never have anything in there outside of pvc elbows.
