what i did, when i set up my QT tank is i did a water change on my 150 and
used that water to fill my QT tank. Then for the next 3 water changes i did
on my 150 i also did a water change on the QT tank. then i introduced my
powder blue. i believe that the water in the QT was very close in parimeters
to the water in the 150, thus the shock of moving him to the big tank was
minimal.

i also put live sand and a small rock from the big tank. there was macroalgae on the rock for the fish to eat. i put up a towel across the front so he wouldnt see
the activity goin on in the kitchen. if i had to medicate him i would have taken out
the live rock.
