Re: quarantine tank question

If you have an extra small and twenty feet or so of tubing coil the tubing around a bucket and wrap that with a towel or blanket, then pump water from your sump through the tubing and back to the sump. That should keep your temperature very near the same as your tank temperature with out the fear of a heater in a small container working improperly.

Current Aquarium(s) Description: 120g SPS Mother Colony Tank, 40 g sump, back wall overflows, 2 closed loop circulation circuits 59X
Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: 35 years in marine aquarium trade and managing LFS's, 10 years with coral.
Other Intrests: Coral Propagation, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Cabinetry, and Reef Systems Development
