quarantine

[chat noir]

i would like to set up a quantine tank for LR and small motile invertibrates, but am a little unsure of how to go about it.
I have our old fresh water aquarium thatll do the trick, my question is will i require new lighting, what kind of filtration would i need, and pump - this tank will hold no fish, and will solely be used for LR and shrimps - any suggestions???

If your not going to be keeping any corals in there, lighting shouldn't be that big of a concern, as far as filtration there are tons of methods, for a tank like that with a low bio-load you can go with just about anything, If you don't want any fish in the tank you will have preatty much a filter(live rock and sand) and a clean up crew. I personally would go with some power heads and let the live rock and sand do the filtering. I always like the simplest approch though.
