Air stone or Filter for a Quarantine setup ?

[SomeHappyFish]

I feel like I should get an air stone... Since water change should and will be made in my future QT Setup...

Pros/Cons to either one ?

I run both - nothing wrong with the extra aeration and the filter gives a good place for placing media.
Use a sponge filter with the airstone if you can, extra biological filtration + aeration.

Filter of some sort. You can use an air driven sponge filter Cheap easy to clean and reuse. Hob easy to clean and get new media like seeded live rock rubble from your tank. These are the two I use most. you can even pre seed sponge filters in your sump but if you use copper in qt dont reuse them in the sump if not you can bleach them and let air dry and reseed in sump but its safer to just get a new sponge they are usually cheap.

Good, might spend the extra money and get an air stone with extra filter in case of a power outage I could reuse the air pump

I have extra sponge filters in my sump for my fresh water for emergency set ups. I also have extra cycled media too. Just got back into saltwater and have a sump so I'll be doing the same with this also.
