chosing qt
I am in the process of setting up a qt to treat ick. I am gonna use coppersafe. I have to options. I have a 55 that is going to be on loan and A 30g that currently has gold fish in it that will be relocated for a while. I have read that if you treat a tank with copper that the tank can never house inverts again because the copper absorbs into the seals and glass. I have read that the copper can never be removed. If that is the case I don't want to mess up the 55g tank. The 30 has already had copper in it. If the other fish don't have ick can I just put them in the 55 for 8 weeks and treat the tang alone in the 30g?

The 30 should be fine. Add some PVC shelters & maybe some plastic plants & give it a go. What are you going to use to filter the QT?

I would think that the 55 is going to be a pain to set up and break down as a QT. Just seems like a ton of work. I would say the 30 would be big enough for most things. I'm sure some stuff wouldn't like it. I personally just bought a 10gal. for a qt. I'm only going to have mostly small fish tho.
