stupid question.....if i use live sand, cured rock rubble and water from my display tank I shouldn't worry about a cycle if i'm using the tank strictly as a frag tank at first right???

i mean the water testing will tell the tale obviously but just had to ask


thanks guys

no it shouldn't cycle

thanks!!! just have to ask to make myself feel better......I second guess myself too much!!! It's an OCD thing!!! LOL

its ok i do that all the time to lol

Hi, are you asking about a QT or are you making a frag tank and calling it a QT? QT tanks should not have any LS or LR as they can harbor pests. If you need to treat whatever is in a QT tank it may kill off what's in LS ad LR.

MY QT tank is set up when I find something on a piece of coral I've purchased or when I'm not sure about something I've purchased. It's a 5 gallon eclipse. I use cycled water from my main tank and a HOB filter for QT. Then I just add 5 gallons of newly mixed water back into my display.

JanVa's right, frag tank & QT tank should usually be completely separate.

Perhaps this is a QT tank for incoming frags?

correct
