Me again, I seem to have an endless supply of questions..
This is what I plan to do for my QT tank. Today I bought an aquaclear20 power filter. I was going to simply hang it on the back of my show tank and let it run for (a week or two?). Then take the filter directly off the show tank and place it on a 10gallon tank, fill the 10gallon with water from my display and add a few pvc pipes for the QT inhabitants. Once my critters pass QT break the tank down, sterilize the power filter and trash the powerfilter media. If say in 3-6 months time I want to add a new addition I go through the above steps. However I was thinking maybe I just need to put the aquaclear20 bio filter cartridge in my sump, then just transfer that to my QT when needed? That would be easier if it's just as good a solution. Thanks all!
