Setting up a quarantine

[garra671]

so I'm in the process of setting up a quarantine tank. I found a biocube 29gallon with the stand for 120$. Do you guys think that this is a good deal or I should try to negotiate him down? The links below are the tank and stand.

I would try $100 even. If you only lived in LA, I have 4 empty ones with stands in my garage.

How big is your display tank...you don't need anything fancy for a QT...any 10 or 20 gal. tank with a power filter on the back should do...I put some dead rock and sand in mine to make a new fish feel more comfortable while he's there...I also used ammonia and I'm done with nitrite, but a little high in nitrate...only going to hold one yellow watchman for my 10 gal. reef...

Display is only a 65 but I got a yellow tang that I feel bad sticking in my 17 gallon

If its only one fish, I would...more control, less meds and I think that he'd be happy enough for a couple of weeks...what do others think...

It would be my yellow tang and clownfish. But I'm treating for ich so I might have to stick them all in there

If all of those fish have to be QT'd, probably the 29 or so makes more sense...
