set up waiting for this kind of contingency. Ingrid

Wow! Ingrid, I was really expecting you to slap my knuckles faster then
that! *Laugh* I am taking a chance. I know that, but right now I don't
have
the equipment/space/manpower to manage a quarantine tank. Flame away.

Even better, imo, just put the pump in the Q-tank, pumping up to the bucket
that spills into the tank, great aeration from the spill over, a bigger
bucket can be used, and more space in Q-tank for fish. If one has a large
enough pond filter, take some of that material and put in the new filter,
faster cycling time dependent on how many fish and their size, and how much
material you take out. With my pump chamber I have room to keep my Q-tank
material active while Q-tank is not in use. Another plus for the Jordan
filter. ;o) ~ jan
