hi, i have 3 clownfish in a 10 gal. quarantine tank.with a sponge filter and a fist full of cured live rock.can i put someone else in there to pick up uneaten food?yesterday before they were added ammonia/0,no2/0 no3/2.5
 
most QT tanks are bare bottoms, so uneaten food could be easily siphoned out. for bio-filtration soak sponge in your tank or sump for a week (for building up bacteria culture in it). And perform daily water changes with your tank's water.
Though 3 fish in 10G QT is quite alot, you'll have to keep close eye on ammonia/nitrite/nitrate content there.
