    Tips and tricks...

    Here's one, for starters...

    I recently picked up some very high tech equipment for soaking food in supplements:

    Cheap, small, airtight, easy to clean. All glass/plastic. Doubles as a shaker for flake and pellets, if you ever use those. Easy to find at most Home Goods type stores.

    Re: Tips and tricks...

    Keep fish in your display tank, or make a cheap cover for your quarantine tank with egg crate.

    NOTE: This is not totally effective for smaller fish.

    Lets light through, and allows maximum oxygen exchange.

    Also useful as a divider in sumps, or as a shelf to sit filter media on.

    Fairly cheap, and easy to cut.
