Quarantine setup

[Grover]

I'm just wondering what you guys do for a quarantine setup? Do you just keep an empty tank and add water when needed or do you keep a cycled aquarium running? Looking for ideas. Thanks.

i have a 300 gallon setup and a 75 gallon fresh as well. i use my 75 when possible. but you can always use like a 40 breeder and have it setup for a hospital tank.

I keep a spare 10g with an ac20 in my garage. Just feel with water and borrow biomax from one of my canisters when I need it. If I kept it filled, I'd end up stocking it

I run sponge filters on my big tanks in addition to my canisters... that way if I need a hospital or quarantine tank I simply move the cycled sponge filter in to the new tank and have a fully cycled filter ready to go without having to worry about the cycle.

One of the many benefits of the ol' ugly unappreciated sponge filter!

I just use my big cooler.
