Qt tank

[Damarferg]

I have a used to be freshwater tank that is now is empty I'm thinking of selling it for some money for the sw tank but I heard keeping an extra qt tank helps a lot what should I do

You could use it as a sump and or a refugium. I have a 30 gallon connected with a over flow box as a refugium if i need to I can turn off the pump and it's separate from my system. If I need to treat with Meds I can move rocks and plants to my sump. What size tanks are you talking about?

The qt tank is a 45

How big will the new tank be? I would definitely keep a QT tank. I made the mistake of not using one and it bit me in the arse. Luckily, I had some spare tanks around to set up quickly to treat a couple fish with ich. If that's bigger than what you want, you could sell it and get a smaller one depending on the type of fish you're getting.
