How does everyone set up their QT tanks?
I am planning on QTing for my next fish purchase and am looking for ideas.
I am planning on picking up a 10 gallon tank (or should this really be something larger?) with heater and hob filter.
This will be a bare bottom tank with a few pieces of PVC of different sizes so the fish have a place to hide and feel safe.
Does this tank need to cycle? I figured I would take water out of my main tank and use that for water changes every couple days.
Also, how long do you normally keep fish, inverts, and corals in QT before you move them to your main tank? I am also guessing that all will need to be aclimated to the main tank as well.
