    Instant ready Quarantine Tanks.

    Please, can anyone post a great Quarantine Tank for marine fish, (clowns, ignitus anthias, chromis, etc.) that is fully equipped with the filter, light, and air pump.
    1. What do you think about the 8 gal 'biOrb aquarium kit with light' for quarantining Marine fish?
    2. Is that aquarium kit primarily for freshwater fish only? It looks fully equipped so I can start quarantining the new marine fish.
    3. do I need some live sand + live rock in the quarantine tank? or is a blank quarantine tank good itself. once I add medication, I believe there is no point in adding live rock + sand.

    Your choice of tanks will work. Small but will do. No, you odn't need rock or sand because of the medication and or Hypo, but you want to put pvc pipe in there so the fish have some place to hide out. You still don't want them stressed out. Bio Cubes are a good all in one also.

    Re: Instant ready Quarantine Tanks.

    The size of the tank needs to fit the size of the fish being quarantined. If your main display is a small tank, then the small quarantine tank would likely be okay, assuming you will only be quarantining small fish. For sizing info and the things you need for a quarantine tank, read this, if you haven't already: A Fish Quarantine Process
