Is anything missing below, or any of it a bad choice for equipment, for two quarantine tanks? I thought as my tank (supposed to arrive next week) is getting ready I could be working through the quarantine of a couple of clownfish to put in after it is cycled. Of course, that would mean I need to cycle the quarantine tank first so might not be worth the effort. Either way I will still want everything ready to start the quarantine as soon as practical so the question remains if anything is missing. It's still a ways away in any case as I'm just now ordering the RO/DI system. But I know I'll need a fish net (or catch net or whatever it's called) and I'm sure there are other items missing. In fact, I'm sure there are dozens of items I'll need for the display tank, mixing station, and quarantine tanks so if anything pops to mind that the beginning reefer often overlooks I'd appreciate a heads up on that as well.

2 Aqueon 20 gallon long tank (already bought)
2 Aqueon 30" Hinged Lid
2 Liberty 130 HOB filter
2 Turbelle Nanostream 6015
1 Estimate - Miscellaneous PVC
2 BRS Titanium 100w Heater System

Thanks!
 
I follow the quarantine method below. If you use this method, off the top of my head you would want copper power, Hanna high range copper checker, general cure, seachem ammonia badge. You could get a cheaper powerhead than the streams too. Good luck.


 
You can get some sort of aquarium sponge to act as biomedia. Even filter floss works
 
@dwest , I'm working my way through the linked thread but I'm assuming the original post is up to date. Thanks.

On the powerheads, I know the Nanostream 6015s were overkill but my thinking is they could back up the WAVs I plan to put in the display tank, figuring at least one would usually be free should the Apex controller go down.
