no1bubba · 09-14-2008, 10:18 PM

I just purchased several coral frags and I am afraid to add them to my DT. I have an empty 10 gal. if I take water from the DT what else do I need to do in 24 hr. Lost all hard coral and majority of soft several weeks ago.."Fay". Did not loose any fish, just coral that is why I am purchasing several at a time. Thanks, Bubba

Lighting and a small powerhead for circulation and you are all set.

You should be fine with just a few items. On short notice, I have even used a 5 gallon bucket or a rubbermaid tub from Target. Add tank water, a clip on light (PC corkscrew bulb), heater and powerhead.....voila! QT.
