I want to set up a QT for the first time. I've always just bought fish at the LFS that have been around for a while. Sometimes I gamble and I've been lucky, but I know it's just a matter of time.
Anyway, I have this 15 gal. I want to use. I'm ripping down my 45 and moving into a 150. I want to use either a small L/R or some of the filter media from my Eheim and put that in one of those small in tank filter in the QT for bacterial filtration. My question is how do you feed the bacteria when there is no fish in the QT tank? Do you just throw a bit of food in every so often?
