QT Tank Setups

[MainelyFish]

So I just inherited a 10 gallon tank and I am thinking about using it as a QT tank... I am just curious what you guys do for setups in your QT tanks and do you run them all the time or only when you need them?

If you only run them when you need them what do you do about filtration?

If you have a sponge filter in cycled tank, most people move them to a QT tank. A simple air pump, some tubing, and a check valve is all you need to power it.

So if I am not running a sponge filter in my tank then I probably should get one running so that I have something to move to the QT tank...

They are small, relatively cheap, and easy to run. Another option is a corner/box filter.

I do have 2 corner filters running in my 55 gallon and i have 1 running in my 20 gallon tank...
