Quarantine tank

[Zen Reef]

Looking for a tank to use for about 5 weeks to quarantine my fish. One of them has ich and I want to give them all a hypo salinity treatment and let the dt go without fish for a month. What size tank should I use to accommodate a yellow tang, powder brown tang, sailfin, Xmas wrasse, cleaner wrasse, and some kind of goby. Thanks

Depends on how big the fish are. You might check out what is available in the equipment library to borrow for a few weeks. That is one of the charter member perks.

Thanks mike. The yellow tang is the largest at about 4". Im not sure where to find an equipment list. Maybe I'm just missing it.

I think the size of your quarantine tank will depend on how much attention you are able to give it. Running hypo, top off becomes a big issue with a smaller tank. You also have to look at amonia issues as well with a smaller tank, particularly since your fish are already sick and the move is going to stress them out some. So while I can not really give you a specific size to go with I would say the biggest you can get your hands on it better.

As to what is available I think you may just have to review the postings and see what has been donated as I do not recall seeing a list placed in a single post.

Thanks for the advise. Yea I'm not sure how to interpret the whole library postings bit. I found a 55 on cl for cheap. Just got it home. Once I'm done, I'll donate it. Is there anyone that hangs onto things for maast? Does anyone have a hob filter and a heater I can borrow for about a month or so?
