RE: quarantine tank

[Anthony Smith]

You can use the water from the main tank and actually thats the best way to do it, the water already have all bacterial that your fish are use to in it.  Just use your own water and treat the tank (quarantine tank that is), the treatment will kill the ick in the water. -----Original Message----- From: Dan R.
