I also have a few cut pieces of 3" PVC pipes for them to hide in. They seem to like that.

Not sure why you want a 2nd canister filter. Or a skimmer. Because you will be doing some major water changes (with hypo), it never gets a chance to build up a lot of nutrients for the length of the QT period.

And I wouldn't be using any meds, except Prazipro. Keeping it simple, but effective, is what matters.

The size of the QT tank should reflect on the size of the display tank, and the fish you intend on QT,to keep stress low



my display is going to be 6'x3'x3'
so in the QT tank will be holding large angels and tangs, and want them to be happy with little stress

the 2 canisters are to move lots of water, again keeping the fish happy
i could just use power heads but i like the extra filtering....

the skimmer is incase of work, I might get called out for a week...
and the less my wife has to do the happier everyone will be...
Happy wife happy life

if the tanks start to become more work for her then feeding, im going to hear about it...
