Quarantine Tanks

Do I need to cycle a quarantine tank prior to adding more fish? How long do the fish need to be quarantined? ???

 

Thanks Carol, that's not difficult at all. Sound like putting a second filter onto a tank is also a quicker way to cycle any tank. Perhaps those starting out may want to ask a friend if they could "borrow" space on their tank to cycle their fiter. though Question two wasn't answered. :-* How long do the fish need to be quarantined?

 

Sometimes you don't have your Q tank cycled when you need it, and sometimes the meds kill the biological filter. In that case, just keep close tabs on your ammonia and nitrates and change water out when you need to. Just make sure you keep the concentration of meds needed in the tank when you change the water out.

 

We're all in this together my friend. That's what makes a forum great!
