Default Re: QT?`

You don't want LR in a QT. Qt are bare bone systems. The point of a QT is to have the fish in a system where they are completely alone. That way you can watch they fish for any signs of undesirable things in you tank (i.e. ich). The QT is also a place that you can dose things like copper and hyposalinity in an enviroment that isn't going to wipe out everything else in the tank. For a good QT you need a tank, a HOB filter, a power head, and some PVC tubes for the fish to hide in.
