QT tank questions.

[pirate]

When I set up my QT tank, I used a bare bottom tank (nothing fancy) threw in a heater and some pvc pipes in various sizes for the fish. Then picked up a canister filter (for flow in the tank and filtration). And put a cheep light on top of it. When it comes down, I put the filter (I dont use the filter element if I use meds) on my dt if nothing was wrong, and if so I clean out the filter, and re-install the element. That way its ready to go, if I need it. If need I do a water change in my tank, instant water ready to go for the new/sick fish.
