Quarantine Tank

I want to set up a 10g QT. Any suggestions on what type of filter to use?

Thanks!

I would use Ocean Clear 380 Filter with 18W UV - Mechanical but im extreme =) with a small pump of corse

 

Wait I been thinking is it for fish or inverts

 

Like a Prizm or CPR ??

 

I guess it would be used for fish and inverts.....unless I need 2. Do I?

thanks,
julie

 

if for fish only use a cpr backpack and run copper in the tank

 

My QT tank is a 10g, with a Penguin - HOB filter. I just mix up some water a couple of days before any new purchase and start it up, dump and clean when finished. So far I've treated with CU only once, but have only put fish in the QT, no inverts.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm still not sure I understand - do I need 2 separate tanks - 1 for fish & 1 for inverts?

Inverts and some corals have a very low tolerance to Cu, if you never use Cu, one tank should be fine...

There have been some suggestions to add a Cu filter pad to the QT....

Just to be safe, since I have used Cu in my QT, I have marked the equipment and will not use it with any setup that will house inverts/corals. In the grander scheme of things, a 10g tank and penguin filter (all from Walmart) is very cheep insurance.... I have paid more for a single pice of coral than this equipment costs....
