Hey everyone...what size of QT do you guys go with? I am curious because if you are running a nano, I would expect the range of fish size to be rather small, and therefore smaller size QTs...
I am trying to get a good feel for how to set up the QT for my own 20g...it's done cycling now and I only have a handful of hermits in it. I am sure I don't want my QT to be bigger than my DT
and really I don't have any room for anything more. So how small can we go if we are QTing nano sized lifestock?
Thanks in advance for all your guys' input!

My QT is a 29g, but I have a 150, 55, and a 30g. So if you have a 20g, I would probably go with a 10g as you wont be QT'ing bigger fish anyway.

i just started QT'ing in a 10G for my 12G aquapod. remember though, smaller the volume more precise you have to be with keeping water conditions good since in a QT you wont have the added benefit of a ton of live rock and sand.

lol i have a spare 5 gal. lying around with a filter (for freshwater 10 gal) and some spare crushed coral. I was thinking of turning that into a qt with some lr rubble and a bit of chaeto. is it worth it?
