In the past, the only QT's I've used have been for new fish, so I've had time to set them up in advance. Now I need to remove all of my fish to treat them for ich (and possibly velvet too). I have a blue tang, firefish, two relatively small maroon clowns, blue-spotted watchman goby, radiant wrasse and yellow coris wrasse. How big of a QT do I need to hold all of them for a month or so? Also, I have a fairly large filter sock on my tank (approx. 8"X12"). If I put this into the new QT with a small powerhead directed into it, is that likely to provide enough bacteria to keep the ammonia levels down? If not, is there anything else I can do to speed up the cycling process so that I can start treating these guys?
