please read full post as this would be a qt solution for 3/4 weeks only

Moving into new home in a few weeks
Have ordered a 5’ x 2’ x 2’ 150g tank
Looking at sump filtration tanks just now

Plan on setting up n stocking with
5/6 Stenlker blue diamond discus
5/6 red top koi angels
Golden nugget L177 pleco

Angels n pleco into 150g soon as it’s cycled since there much hardier than discus
Have some k1 media bagged in 15g just now so that should help new tank

Thinking about qt discus in the 15g planted
As it’s well established fluval flex 57 with modded extra bio filtration
There only going to be 2-2.5” but not sure if this is a workable qt or if I’d be better waiting till angels n plecos have settled in n put discus straight in with no qt

Meant to add ..
I work nightshift so would be doing a 30/40 % water change morning n night for duration of qt
As well
