    Quarantine Tank Filtration Options?

    Hi,

    I've got a small (~600 litre) quarantine / treatment tank and I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a cheap / effective filtration system for it. In the past I could get away with just water changes, but now my fish are bigger it's not really going to do the job.

    I was wondering about a small pressurised filter perhaps? As the tank is in my dining room currently I'd like to keep things as tidy as possible!

    Thanks.

    I have a new setup in an IBC tank in the garage. I use a pressurised filter which has been working very well and with the aid of one pond bomb and a small 300w heater, NPS only lasted for a week. Very neat and would only open the garage back door and attach a hoze to the outlet of the filter to clean.

    This is my set up and it works really well (so far). Bought the pressure filter second hand on gumtree. Very easy to clean but not much biological filtration so added the water butt bio chamber with k1.
