So as some may know I used to have a 240 gal flat setup. Long story short it was taken Down and it empty, for now... I hope to re start it someday, and one of the thigns I know that will need to change is the addition of a quarantine set up. I'm not sure the best way to go about putting a qt together though.
I'm thinking of using a 40 breeder or maybe a 55 standard or something, and I figure a skimmer would be nice. A couple powerheads... Probably some t5 lighting... What else would be good?
I'd like to make it so water will be pumped from the flat once a day into the qt. The extra water would go into the sump, where there would be a bulkhead just above the height I want the water level to be at so the extra water volume would go out into a rubbermaid or other container and then dumped. Is there a better option to make the water changes automated? With the relatively small volume if the qt I want to be able to keep the water quality up and keep it very similar to that of the flat.
Any ideas or info from your experience would be appreciated!
