Hello.
I have just a general question in regards to setting up a quarantine tank as I am prepping to get an adolescent blue hippo tang. I have a 100g DT established for almost a year now doing well. I have researched online and could not seem to find an answer but I have a 20 gallon tank from prior use. I also am currently running 2 HOB filters on my DT. Can I use the tank water from my established tank that I take out from water change and use one of my two HOB filters in the QT and be able to use instantly without the need to cycle? I guess I am just wondering if I am using all fully cycled equipment would my QT be ready instantly or not.
This is the first time I am going to be keeping a blue hippo tang and I am nervous due to all the others that have stated that BHT is prone to Ich. Any tips on keeping a BHT?
Thanks in advance!!
