What size QT?

[fragit]

I'm going to be setting up my quarantine tank/hospital tank. I haves 29gal or a 10gal to use. I had planned on using the 29, but thinking about the 10. I plan on prophylactically treating most of my fish with CP. I've been thinking about the amount of water and meds to be used. I'm also probably only going to be treating 1-2 fish at a time, maybe 3 depending on size. Advice please on which size tank!

The larger QT the better imo. Even with using medications, you dont have to treat the whole tank, yiu can do medicated baths in small containers.

It depends on what fish and the size you are planning on getting. But bigger the better. You don't want the fish cramped in there and cause more stress.

^^This. Assuming you are planning on QT'ing 2-3 medium sized fish at a time, the 29 gal would be the better choice.
