QT Tank Capacity

[njreefermadness]

I am currently setting up a qt tank for some new fish for my 180 reef. I am looking to establish a school of 15 small inch or so green chromis. I am also looking at a blue head fairy wrasse, a carpenters flasher and a long nose butterfly. I got a 30 gal setup with a hang on filter, and an mp40 for the qt. I filled it with water from the 180 reef. I have a filter pad and sock in my sump that I will put in the filter box of the qt, along with a rock.

I have been pouring some frozen cube liquid into the qt for the past week to help bacterial action, and I have some large pvc fittings for shelter.

My question is whether I will have the bacterial carrying capacity for this load.

I will be dosing cupramine and prazi pro.

The qt has been running for 1.5 weeks.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Herb

I think you're pushing it to QT all those fish at once in the 30g. I would break them up, chromis then the others

I agree with this.
