So, I set up a
quarantine tank a couple months ago using my old 29 gallon tank when I upgraded to a new 70g RR tank. Never have used a quarantine tank before, and it's basically an empty tank w/ a powerhead and a hang on filter for circulation, and a NO fluorescent strip.
I use the water from it for water changes for my big tank, and replace the water in it w/ new saltwater mix.
So today, I bought four new fish. A mated perc clownfish pair, a lawnmower blenny and a pseudochromis.
I carefully acclimated them about an hour ago by drip, then put them in the quarantine tank.
However, I just realized, this tank has no filtration method (i.e. - since there's nothing in it, it's never cycled, there's no bioballs, or anything)
So, what's the impact on my fish? Do I need to get them out and put them in my big tank before they crap, and the ammonia cycle starts?
I never thought about this, but the reccs for a quarantine tank have never addressed this issue that I've seen?
I'll take them out tonight if need be, but I want the best for my fish!
What to do?
