Aquarium Advice Freak
So I want to have a spare tank for hospital/quarantine purposes. I already have a spare 10 gallon tank, I just need a heater and filter.
I also have two established 10 gallon tanks that have been running for 5 and 2 years.
I thought if I got the same type of filter for the hospital tank as my established tanks, that if I ever need it I can pull the filter media out of the established tank and put it in the hospital, and it's good to go. Pretty much an instant cycle.
Does that sound like a good idea? Does anyone have any other ideas on making hospital tanks instantly ready, or does anyone keep them running all the time?
