Hey guys,
I'm continuing my design and I have an old wet/dry sump with bio balls that I'm thinking about using as my quarantine tank. It has about a 10 gallon capacity and I was thinking about using a powerhead to circulate the water back over the bioballs to act as a filter. Unless I'm dealing with a disease or outbreak of parasites I was thinking I would have a few pounds of LR in the tank to keep it cycled. I would probably keep a small sandbed in there, definitely not a deep sand bed as I wouldn't want to have to remove all that for a treatment.
Any new corals or fish would then be added into the quarantine tank for at least a couple of weeks before being transferred to the main tank.
With this low bioload do you think my ideas for filtering are enough or do I need to get additional filters?
