    Well I lost some fish to ICH and now I am setting up a quarantine tank for all new additions. Should I put any rock or sand or just bare. Its a 20gal long with a Emperor 280, heater and light. I have heard it both ways. What about hiding places. Any help ?? Thanks in advance

    IMO the tank should not have any rock or sand. Use shortish pieces of PVC pipe of different diameters as hiding spaces for the fish :)
