Agreed that the seeded sponge and decor will be a big help. Even squeezing the sponge in the tank would be a huge help!
Are you planning on running meds in the tank? I would suggest not doing water changes as you’ll need to re dose meds and that’s a pain. But test your heart out and make sure nothing spikes!
I keep my quarantine tanks cycled with either new fish I’m quarantining, starting to grow out fry, a fish or two, or snails. We put in so much effort to cycle them in the first place that I don’t want to lose that progress
alright, will do! I'm not nessecarily planning on pre dosing meds unless I see signs of illness occur.

I would definitely add that pre-filter sponge and decor with beneficial bacteria on it, that will definitely help cycle the tank faster. I personally cycle my QT tanks. Make sure you are checking your parameters. Also Fritz products help cycle aquariums fast like Fritz Zyme 7 or Turbo Start.
Thank you for your help! 🙏

Hi guys! quick question about quarantine tank cycling:
I am currently trying to set up a quarantine tank but I don't have any spare sponge filters at the moment. I have a pre-filter sponge on the HOB filter on my current display tank. If I attach it to another extra HOB filter I have and add some old decor, as well as performing daily water changes, would that suffice to prevent ammonia from building up in the 2 weeks I keep the tank running? Will doing daily water changes stress out the fish? I've also heard some say that it's not necessary to cycle a quarantine tank, is that true?
Any help is greatly appreciated! 🙂
