Have read through this thread and am now convinced that a QT is a must. We are new and have had our TBS tank up for almost 2 months now. We are looking at fish and wanted to start with the basics, chromis. Figured if they needed to be in QT for 6-8 weeks then our DT would be mature enough to handle them by the time they were finished.

We have a 10gal tank set aside for QT purposes. We have a small Hydor heater (if needed) and a HOB power filter rated for up to 20 gallons. Will this filter also act as circulation ordo we still need to get a small circulation pump. Also, should we be putting the filter cartridge in our DT HOB skimmer?
