Can you tell me what you use for a QT set up? I have the following:
-heater
-Via Aqua pump (small for circulation)
- 2 x HOB filter (use biowheel for bacteria growth)
-10-12 big peiced of PVC for bacteria growth
I normally soak a large peice of spounge in my sump for 2-3 weeks before I start my QT Tank. In the past I have added only 1-2 small fish after letting the QT system run for about 3-4 days. I have added the fish in the past and had major issues with it starting to cycle. What am I doing wrong? I really had issues when I set up my QT for my main tank that had ick. I had 4 fish in the 30 Gallon QT and had to do 2 water changes per day just to keep the fish alive as the ammonia was climbing every day. And no I didnt feed a lot.
Do you use the HOB biowheel? What would be causing my QT to cycle? Please post any suggestions. I have read where most people on here run their QT tanks very easily and low maintance.
