? about setting up a QT

[devaji108]

this will be my frist QT tank.......
I am getting 3 tangs and maybe a flam Angle for my 240 from a club group buy. the idea is to add them all at the same time. they are
1 X kole tang
2x yellow tangs
I have a 20 gal that I was going to use as a QT will this be big enough? or should I go with a rubber maid 55 gal tub.?
I thinking the 55 but you can't see the fish as good....
how long is long enough? what is the max time a fish can be in QT?
can you use glass jars for "rock work" like U use PVC?
to skim or not to skim
how many/ what size of PH
thanks

You need to go with the rubbermaid, because a 20 is not going to cut it for 3 tangs for a month. Use a cheap NO light, if you have one to illuminate as needed.

Yep, a 20 will not do it for the tangs.
