Yes I'm aware of quarantine tanks, and in fact have broken down my 36
bow front tank from its previous cichlid setup, and am going to be
changing over to a quarantine salt tank. Most of what I have will be
sufficient for that purpose, though I will likely upgrade the
filter...nothing wrong with my tetratec, and I've run sal****er on it
before, but its getting old, and is painfully loud. I feel OK about
ditching it...getting 5 years or so service out of a 40 dollar filter
- I'd say I got my money's worth.

Good thinking, Mitch, you are better at the start than most of us
who did not read books you have, and learned on our own mistakes.
