Quarantine Tank
I have a 500 gallon quarantine tank and wondered what people saw as the maximum size fish that could safely be quarantined in a tank this size?

I have had 5 fish at 30-35cm, a couple of 20- 25cm fish and some tiddler tosai in a 'temporary' IBC tank for about a year since building my pond. That has about 200gal in it and the whole system is less than 300gal. All good so far.
2660 Gallons. 4" Bottom Drain and Skimmer. Draco Solum 16 Drum. Anoxic Filtration. Air lift returns.

That's good to know. I'm planning a Qt/grow-on of a similar size so am reassured that it can hold a few fish.
What filters have you got on the Qt?
I'm planning to use a midi sieve followed by DIY moving bed bio filter with 50l of k1 on it.

My grow on has a nexus 200 and runs ozone too, you feed quite heavily so figured as a second hand nexus wasn’t much different in price to a secondhand pod and I had space I’d go for bigger filter.

A Yamitsu / kockney koi mega box +uv filter with a floss layer which gets binned every so often and large plastic media under it. Then a 125l loft tub moving bed with about
50L k1 in it. Plus some plants hanging on the side. For such a basic setup it does very well and rarely needs much attention.Last edited by Alburglar; 03-03-2021 at 02:51 PM.
