Hey R2R !
I’ve recently been interested in setting up a Coral QT tank in order to ensure I don’t introduce any pest or unwanted algae in my new set up !
I currently have a 20 gallon that has been overran by multiple algae’s : bubble algae , turf algae, bryopsis, and some sort of slime.
many of these algae’s I have never had in my year of having my tank set up, until I bought some zoa frags from a frag swap where little did I know, the frags were home to many of these algae’s.
i am planning on moving to a desk top Nuvo 10 where I plan on keeping mainly Euphyllia.
i currently have 10 frags of hammers that are not looking too hot, after I attempted to fight bryopsis with Fluconazole (had no luck for more than a month).
im hoping that with a QT tank I am able to prevent any pest/algae from being introduced to my new DT tank.
Would I need to cycle this tank in order to start the coral qt ? How would I go about keeping steady levels of nitrates and phosphates ? How would I prevent nutrient build up from coral feeding ?
thank you guys and I hope I can get some great advice !
