This is a good idea... but the only issue with a newly set up QT is that since it is not established it can create a whole new ball of stress for the fish.

I would still try that over putting it right in with your nice new clowns.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Skip sand for a QT. Makes it easier to clean/sanitize the tank.
