Here's a checklist for a quarantine tank (QT) or hospital tank (HT). You don't have to follow all of my suggestions, just use it as a guideline.

I don't know what you mean by "external skimmers". I assume it's a type of protein skimmer and not a surface skimmer.

The Eheim Hobby Pump is equally as good as the Red Dragon, but unfortunately they aren't offered in higher output. The Aqua-Medic Ocean Runners are also quiet and reliable, but limited to 6500LPH and...
