Regular Member terisather Posted June 2, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hello, I recently set up a 5 gallon Rubbermaid tub with my old Penguin Biowheel 150. I always keep extra filters in my Penguin 200 (on my 20 gallon tank) along with a bio-bag. Right now, the bio-bag and an extra filter are in the 150 and I have an airstone running. Is this sufficient cycling for the QT tank? When will I know that it is safe to put a new fish in it? Any other QT advice? I've been looking at the QT Tank Scenarios, but if someone can give it all to me in a nutshell I would be gratefull. Thanks!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member kenny Posted June 2, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted June 2, 2008 sounds like you got it, just keeping testing the water. if i could make a suggestion, if you can, switch to a 10 gal rubbermaid. it will make adding the meds easier since it it comes as 10 gal doses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member terisather Posted June 2, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 2, 2008 Sounds like a good idea, 10 gallons it is. Would it be OK to put a fish in? I want another Oranda. Is the one cycled filter and the bio-bag enough? How long should I run a salt regimen? I have prazi, should I dose with that too? At the same time? I'm just having trouble remembering most of the dosing rules I've learned in the last 7 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
