I am setting up my first QT tank and have a few questions.
Setup Background:
- 29g tank, light, heater, air stone
- HOB filter/mini skimmer (DT seeded seachem matrix)
When it’s an Observation QT:
- I am doing automatic water changes from my DT into the new QT @ 2g per day (and 2g out).
When it’s a Medication QT:
- I will pause my auto water changes into QT.
Questions:
- What do people do for an ammonia source when the QT is empty?
- Should I move the matrix back to my DT sump when the QT is empty? Or will DT water help keep the bacteria going?
Thanks in advance.
