oh yeah, about setting them up...

i would usually set up my QT about a week before i planned on getting a fish, and i would change a 1-3 gallons of water during quarantine every 2 or 3 days. this would continue for at least 2-3 weeks to make sure that the new guy was eating. other than the ill-fated blennies, i only treated for ich once on a butterfly that ended up recovering very well.

i did all the water changing because i had nothing in the QT to clean up anything that the new guy wouldn't eat (which usually would be a lot in the beginning).

the QT sat empty for several months before i ended up putting my zoo frags in it... might have to get a new 10g QT or something if i ever plan on adding more fish!
