Sucks because i just shut it down after my clown goby died in there. And im leaveing on vacation to see family today and will be getting back on saturday (the last day the of the sale) and wont have enough time to fill and wash to QT. i will try and see if i can do it but not sure yet. Do you think i could get away with 2? Im thinking of black and whites
. Thing is though i will have to cycle the DT and get everything up and running so they will be in the 10g QT for 4-6 weeks.

Can i cycle without the skimmer? That would make it alot easier.
This is what i need ATM
Skimmer-160$
Return pump- 85$
Powerhead-60$
So another 285$ being spent at the lfs!

Oh i thought you were talking about the clownfish lol
what sizes should i get? But i think a little over QTing wont hurt anyone, right?The longer the better when it comes to quarantining!
As for powerheads, two 750/850s should do the job. If you're going for SPS two 1150s should be perfect as they like higher flow but I think you'd have to factor in your sump return strength.

Could i use the next step downs? 2 840s?
It'll give you a turnover rate of x28 so depending on your return pump it might be able to sustain SPS. Most SPS tanks I've seen have a turnover rate of 50+ but placement is a big factor as well.
