minimum size qt

[camlov2]

I am looking into starting a larger tank 120-180 gallons and need to also get a qt tank. I will be adding fish such as tangs, butterfly, trigger, angelfish, and want to make sure the qt tank is large enough so it is not a problem. I know some of these fish are sensitive and don't want to have to stress them twice if at all possible.

Is a basic 10 gallon enough, how about a 20?

I know I have huge expenses to start the large tank and want to keep the qt cheaper (and easier to store when not in use) but I don't want to risk the fish.

I have a 120g display, and for the size of fish you may be wanting to put in there, I'd suggest a tank like what I have, a 29g. Sometimes you can find them used with stands and save money on the setup.

i use a 20g for my qt.... 10 might be a bit too small.

I use a 29g. Very happy with the size.

I'd go larger if I needed to QT large fish, like for a 240g or something display....

I would go with a 29g.
