QT Tank
 

What do you guys use for bio filters on your QT tank ? I would like to beable to sanatize it so live rock is out of the Question, and Sponges are a PITA... dose anyone have any good ideas to share... I will be useing it on my 5.5 Zoo QT tank i curently use sponges and am looking for something better... Im thinking maybe Bio balls

What are you using? A HOB filter or canister filter?

Im just useing a HOB filter... AC 500 i think with sponge from Main tank, I should mention that i only QT Zoos I dont keep many fish... i dont keep it running full time as i dont have the space... I toss some cheato in there as well just for the fun

are you having any problems using the sponge? ammonia, nitrite? i would say removing a sponge so you can sterilize it would be easier than bio-balls

btw nintendo wii's suck for posting on canreef! this took me like 10 mins! lol

I don't bother with a bio filter in my own quarantine, because if I have to medicate it kills off the bacteria any ways. I just do frequent water changes and run it with a salinity of like 1.016, slowly working it up to my tank's salinity.

My quarantine habbits haven't been that good lately though :redface:
