I am hoping to get a few examples of hospital tanks that I can use to nurse my sick Squamosa back to health. I want to be able to perform a F.W.D. and then put him in one as suggested by Barry. A few of my questions are Substrate: yes or no if yes what should I use how much. Should I just take a few bio balls from main tank to allow bacteria culture? would that work? Tank size: will a 10 gallon suffice? Lighting: can I place the hospital tank right next to my display. The main tank and the light fixture are about 36 inches and line up exactly but it is a 250 watt halide with 2 65 watt actinics so there is a large amount of light that spills over the sides. Barry suggested that lower lighting for the H. tank would be wise so would the spill over form the main fixture do just for this situation?
and last to come to mind is filtration: If I throw a skimmer on and just run it will that be ok. Thanks for the help guys and Gals. My clam and I thank you!!!
