Tank Transfer Water Movement

[Yellow Eyes]

I currently have two clownfish in quarantine, and I am going to do TTM, and then put them back into QT with a HOB filter. For TTM I have a small airstone (1" maybe?) and pump (which, along with the tubing will be replaced after each transfer), a heater, and some PVC for hiding in a 10 gallon QT filled with about 7 gallons.

Will there be enough water movement to circulate the water for the heater during the TTM? Does anyone have any other tricks for this?

I always use just an airstone. UNLESS treating with prazipro. Then I use a power head to generate some surface water movement ensuring good oxygen exchange.

I treat the QT with PP during the 2nd and 4th transfer.

I just use an air stone for movement during TT.

Air stone only. Even with prazi.

I have 6 airstones so I can use a fresh one with each transfer with 2 to spare in case I break one.

i always keep a bunch in stock. occasionally one doesn't work right for whatever reason. i throw them out after use.

I should mention extra heaters. It's a royal pain to not have an extra when you need it.
