Hey y’all so I started a 5 gallon frag tank. All there is is a hang on the back filer, heater, 2 wave makers, bio balls, some egg crate. I didn’t treat the tank at all. I’m hoping the bio balls from the established tank will be sufficient. Any other suggestions are appreciated!

I have a 20g display!
Looks great! Do you own another tank or was the bio balls gifted to you?

for my quarantine tanks I would use the “waste water” from my display tanks to get the QT stable.. if not just take it slow as the biology develops

Do your water change from the 20 g into the new 5g. As the new tank matures you can start to add fresh salt water.

I always feel if the 5g doesn’t have a small fish in there then you should still add some water from your main tank. Corals need the fish waste and nutrients to grow. Maybe do a ratio of 1:4 or 50/50
