I'm putting together a tank designed to be an observation tank for new fish. I've tried the TTM method and I felt like it was a stressful environment. I would like to set up a permanent running tank with sand and live rock for placing new fish before introducing to my display tank.
My thought was to place new fish in this tank and observe them for 45 days. If I see no illness I would place in display tank. If I notice something that requires treatment, I would remove and place in a bare treatment tank.
I'm still going through the thought process and validation of concept. Any input would be appreciated.
I'm also deciding on equipment. Other than LR and sand, I'm deciding what type of filtration I might need. Is a HOB filter like an aquaclear a good idea? Any recommendations on equipment setup?
Thanks,
Mason
