| 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.

| Re: QT?` We have had limitless discussions about QT here at RB. A search of the threads or even a trip to the RB library will answer any questions one might have on this subject. Pics of QT are also in the Library. |

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.
