hello everyone. It has now been 7 weeks since I started. I have added 2 occerlarious clown fish and a CUC consisting of 6 red legged hermits, 9 snails, 4 of those nassarius and the rest all different species, a brittle starfish, cleaner shrimp and an emerald crab. I am hoping to add another fish in about a month which leads me to my question. I am purchasing a fluval 10 gal all in one tank to use as a quarantine tank. It comes with light, cover and a carbon filter plus a return pump. Pretty similar to my Aquatop 40 minus the protein skimmer. My question is what else do I need to add to the qt other than the carbon sponge. I know I need a sponge that I leave in my tank for 30 days to gather the neccassary good bacteria for when I put water in the qt. I also know no sand or live rock, just bare bottom with some pvc pipe. The tank I am getting has room for 2 more media sponges or pellets after the carbon sponge is in place. Any and all help is appreciated. Pic is the tank but just a google pic not the one I found. If u zoom in on this pic it looks like it just has a huge sponge but the tank I am getting has 3 shelves in it too add different media.
