So I am in the process of setting up my first saltwater aquarium and want to follow the best practices possible. So I am planning on quarantining everything including corals before I put them in my dt.
So my questions are as follows:
- Do I setup my Dt and qt at the same time and just let my dt run empty for the 6 or so weeks required for quarantine? If so how will my dt cycle of there are no nutrients being introduced into the tank?
- I assume I need separate Quarantine tanks for my fish and corals so how can I get those cycled if I don't have any items to put in them from a cycled tank.
- Lastly would filter media from an established freshwater tank help cycle a saltwater tank?
Thanks for any help.
