Hi all. I have a question regarding quarantine tanks.
(Edit: i found some previous threads related to my question. Good stuff, so much to learn. Happy days!)
I have never actually used one before, and feel it should be a priority. My main tank is a standard 4 foot, probably 300 to 350 liters or so, with the sump. (Carrying all those barrels of water, it felt more like a million liters.. )
Would a 60 liter tank be ok for quarantine? (Probably only 3 or 4 fish at a time.) Hot long to quarantine for? (Fish will generally be caught, except if I get a clown. Bought fish will always be quarantined, the last one i gought almost killed everything)
What equipment do i need? Tank will have natural light, so that is no issue, but will a power filter be ok or do i need to go the whole sump with skimmer route?
Tia
