I've spent some time reading and just can't quite find the answers hoping for some help. My plan is to have a temporary quarantine tank since space is not plentiful and when not in use I'll just have it sitting on a shelf in the closet.
Water - how / where do you fill up the QT tank? Do you take water from your main tank? Is it best to plan timing around a water change and just use that water to fill he QT?
Filter / Bio - In my main tank I'm planning on running a refugium or algae scrubber and not having any bio media - for the QT tank, I was looking at basic HOB filters, is a sponge filter adequate or do I need to run some sort of bio filter? Should I keep spare sponges in my sump (any issue with length of time they are in there)? Can I keep a media bag with filter media in my sump and use that for the filter?
Any issue with using a basic AIO 10gal big box store setup for a QT tank? going with simplicity / convenience
