    Default QT Tank and Hospital Tank Size Suggestion

    What is a good size for QT tank and hospital tank? I'm thinking 29 gallon for QT and 10 gallon for Hospital. With the hospital tank being 10 gallon I can put less med in to treat the sick one. Would 10 gallon be too small for 5-6" Discus. Of course I will use sponge filter and aerated it good while they are recovering in it.

    I agree, 30 or more for both. A QT tank can be huge depending on the amount of stock (fish) you bring in.
