So I'm looking at getting my quarantine tank setup. What are your thoughts on cheap stuff from petco/petsmart? Buy one of their cheap 1 per gallon 20 gallon tanks a cheap glass heater and a cheap sponge filter. Or do you all user something different for your QT setup. I want to keep it on the cheap. Also what meds should I have on hand? Thanks in advance!
 
I’ve gone Down the cheap route , bought a second hand tank and a cheap heater and filter , it a qt , it’s not on show so it doesn’t need too be fancy just practical and functional! Just my opinion!!

Those were kind of my thoughts thanks for the input!
 
As your original post stated just get a petco dollar a gallon tank, cheap heater, cheap hob filter and call it a day.
Don't get me wrong, used is fine for what it is a QT but that being said I have seen people grab used tanks and end up with a crack(s) or a broken tank.
 
I did the Petco / Petsmart thing for my qt. Works great.
