New qt set up ?

What would be the best medications to have for incoming fish?

Cupramine + PraziPro and an Seachem Ammonia Alert badge. Also Maracyn will be great too.

Except I also do the first-day, initial dosage of Maracyn 1 & 2. And that's it.

I'd keep some formalin on hand too. Its inexpensive, the only way to treat brooklynella, and often very hard to find on short notice. Also, do you have a plan to get a cycle going in your QT? Fighting ammonia while maintaining a QT is a common and unnecessary hassle, here's what I do. (Sorry to those who have seen this a hundred times.)--

"
In regards to Qt cycling; I've done this for years. Get a HOB filter; I really like Aqua-Clear, they have a big sponge and last forever. Don't use the carbon or ceramic noodles that come with the filter. Also, have some extra sponges on hand, they're cheap. Keep a sponge in the flow somewhere in your DT. When you need a QT or HT, just use the sponge that has been in your main system in your QT filter---the QT will be instantly cycled. When done, toss the sponge and keep a new one ready in your main system.
BTW, Cupramine copper, used in a QT,will not destroy a bio-filter."
