Putting a fish in the sump, which compartment?

[Borderjumper]

I always stick my "time outers" in the compartment that I think will be easiest to catch them ,once they learn a little humility.

IMO fish in the sump is a bad idea, but if you must i would keep it in the largest compartment

I would worry about compartments with pumps/equipment that the fish could get hurt on, so I would use #1. Or better yet, you could set up a rubbermaid container with some LR a heater and an air pump in it for the fish to stay in.

Put it in your QT.
I would think there is a risk that any fish put in a sump would be stressed could break out with ich

Sump, QT, rubbermaid.....whats the difference? Catching and moving the fish is the stressful part to the fish. I would say compartment number 1 where there are no pumps, exact temp and water conditions as the display. But only for a short time as the space will obviously be inadequate.

Caught the trigger during feeding so he is now chilling in the first compartment of the sump. Normally I would have put him in my Qt but I just shut it down a month ago because it has been running empty since October.
