I think a 10g would work, a 29g would be even better. You just need a basic filter for a QT, nothing special.
Is there a way to take them out just if I need to medicate and then maybe move the sand. I know I won't be able to just have an empty tank running so I was trying to get around it. Could I just put a few pieces on live rock in there and move themscottayy said:Wouldn't put a substrate or inverts in it. If you have to medicate it could kill the inverts and the meds might never wash out of the sand completely.
scottayy said:Well I'm sure you could. But whatever's in there your biological filter is going to grow on. Move it and you'll have to recycle. You could keep a few small danios in there to have some movement and keep the tank cycled.

I'd buy a small hang on filter and run it on your sump. When you need it for QT, pull it off the sump and put it on a bare bottom QT with PVC for hiding spots. You won't want to use substrate or live rock because you'll nuke them anyway if you have to medicate anything. When you're done with the QT, you can tear it down. Just toss the media from the hang on filter, clean it, and replace with new media before you put it back on the sump. That's what I would do anyway.

Ibrahim said:Larger the better so 15g tall
redsea said:Yep, I believe that they are the same length, so I would go with the 15g tall too.
