I use my DT of my FOWLR for QT (hypo) of fish. It will work.

Make sure you understand cycling and make sure you test the water a lot. You'll ned more than a little bottle of bacteria. Get some bioballs or sponge filter from an established and healthy tank. And don't do a few clowns. 2. Good luck.

+1 There are a dozen kinds of Miracle-Gro bacteria starters. I've tried a couple, heard of many attempts and think they might work a little, some of the time. Most times, they seem to do nothing and have even blamed in tank wipe-outs. (The "Right Now" brand). Cycling a QT is a big deal, IMO. You don't need to fight ammonia while a fish is in QT. A seeded sponge or patience.

A "few clowns" is OK when they are juvis; but when sexually mature, most clowns will pair up and not tolerate any other clowns in the same tank.

Ok I ment a pair of clowns so I'll just cycle use the dt as a qt until he live rock is cured in another tank and then put the live rock in
