![]() The pieces I put in were extras I had left over. I put them in the tank just to provide a hiding space for the fish. If I had to treat the fish for anything, it would be a quick job to remove them, before starting the treatment.

![]() Cycle the tank (at least that's what I did) Then keep it just as you would a normal tank but without all the fancy aspects of the display tank. Salinity, Temp, PH, etc. should be the same between the two tanks.
What kind of HOB filter are you using? If you're worried about it, an added powerhead would only help. I wouldn't remove the power heads if you don't think that there is enough water movement. Hope this helps

![]() If you're going to use a HOB filter, put some live rock rubble from your display tank in the HOB filter to get it rolling. Are you going to be using live rock in the QT? Or PVC?
You can use some shrimp but will need to remove it after a couple of days.

![]() Sorry to jump in here, but this all sounds interesting. Can you post a picture of this tank and setup. I am not sure what all the acronyms mean. Sorry for being a pain. Thanks
