QT Tank : Need some help

[DFason]

I Am going to be ordering a Flame Angel in the next few days. I want to use a QT and need a little help setting one up.

I have a 10 gallon tank, 50 W heater and some PC lights.

What else am I going to need? Filter, PVC and a little rock?

Thanks in advance!

A little liverock would help with biological filtration and also provide a little bit of material for the angel to graze on. PVC is cleaner than liverock for use in a quarantine tank, but it is completely sterile. If you are going to be treating the angel with any medications other than Prazipro, then use pvc, otherwise liverock would be better.

A hang on back filter or small protein skimmer would also be helpful, but isn't required. You will need a small powerhead to keep the water moving and oxygen levels up.

Good luck with your angel! You will love it!
