I’m planning on starting a new setup with the reefer 350. I want to also build a simple quarantine tank and keep my fish in there while my main tank is cycling(20gal). Now my question is; do I need to cycle the quarantine tank? Or will I be fine if I have the right parameters? along with right equipment such as heater, hang on filter with a sponge only, wave maker, pvc hiding and a simple light, monitor ammonia and do water changes according to the ammonia level. Should I be able to add fish right after setting up qt or do I have to add some sort of quick start bacteria? And cycle as usual? Do fish less cycle or with fish? Do I need to dose anything? If so what do you recommend? This qt will only be on when I plan on getting new fishes and not permanent. Any advice or information would be highly appreciated!
First batch Fish I’m planning on quarantining before adding to main tanks are : 2 clowns, 1-2 yellow tang(if I see algae growth on the tank.) I will be quarantining until the main tank is fully cycled or longer (4weeks+)
