Hi to all on the board. I am a new poster and have been in the hobby for just under two years. I don't really understand how the quarentine tank works. Is it maintained constantly just like a normal tank or is it only started up when needed? If it is kept up continually, how is the biological filter kept functioning without any living creatures in the tank. If it is only started up when it is needed, how can it be healthy for the fish when it has not cycled? Thanks in advance for your replies!
