Just set up my first qt tank. It is a 40 breeder that I had as a reef tank before upgrading to a 90 gallon. I've never qt any of my fish and luckily haven't had any problems. But I want either a Kole Tang or a Tomini tang, so I figure I better setup a qt.
40 Breeder
Led Light
Heater
Small wave maker
Large HOB filter (bio wheels currently soaking in my DT sump)
Fake Plastic corals
PVC pipe fittings
Small amount of dry rubble rock that has been in a bucket of saltwater and stability for a week or so
Qt has been running almost 24 hrs now. I plan to cycle it with Fritz Zyme or Dr Tims bacteria. Currently just adding some Stability. I have read many forums on this site already so I understand the basics. Just had some questions you guys might be able to help me with....
1. Could I put a Kole and a Tomini in the qt together? (they will be going in separate aquariums after qt)
2. Should I put a couple clowns in the qt for a few weeks before the tang/ tangs? To help mature the tank?
3. I have Safety Stop to dip the fish before going into qt. Can I just watch the fish and not medicate unless I start to see issues? Or is copper a MUST for a qt tank? And other meds
4. I will probably keep this tank running to be used as a hospital tank. Any different things I should plan for at this point if it will be a running after qt period?
I will take any advice I can get. Thanks in advance!!
