Re: Still Planning

My Q-tank is a 20L, I am using a Whisper "hang on the back" filter. Mainly
for circulation,  For fish shelter/Cover I have a few "used to be live"
rocks for hiding places. I don't worry about bio filtration there because
its a short term holding tank, and so small I just change the water a lot
when its in use,  about 3 to 5 gal a day. When this tank is not needed its
just runs with clean water, waiting for a new addition to the tank OR a
hospital tank. with no bottom cover it works well for that too,  just remove
most the rock, so they are not leaching medications into water after.

When introducing a new fish , the  3 - 5 gal a day water change is made out
of the tank the new fish is  planned for, so it adjusts to the water
condition of that tank also. Plus being a reef, the new addition gets some
micro foods from that water as well.

I am using a standard cheap-o hood that came with the tank. cheap bulb too,
even most Corals won't suffer too much from a few weeks of poor lighting.
( like storm season in the wild? ) All my tanks lighting run on one timer
(12 on 12 off)


that's it
