My parents had it through with fish tanks (despite only having one 10g tank) but I know I'm going to need a QT sooner or later. I've heard of people using plastic containers as a QT, and I plan to use that method (more convenient for my situation)...but I have a problem.
I really don't want to cycle the QT; the rest of my stock is small (4 cories, one gourami, that's it!) and my parents want it temporary, because there's not much space.
HOWEVER, I don't have an extra filter running on my DT (can't fit), and the filter on my DT can't really fit another cartridge either. I have an Aqueon 10 QuietFlow filter for reference. It may fit, but it would have to be a really small piece.
What should I do beyond this point?? I could just end up doing water changes but I don't wanna do anything before I get opinions.
Thanks.
