Ditto. you also should have some type of lighting so you can see your fish easily to check for parasites or diseases and a heater.
Here's a pic of my q-tank
Using LR in a q-tank is bad, because if you need to treat a fish using chemicals for a disease or parasite, the LR will suck the chemicals out of the water quickly.
