My advice:
- Make sure to use a well established filter media for your QT tank; something that has been in the sump of your main tank for some time. This way you have "biologically active" media.
- Test the water frequently for ammonia and nitrite.
- Observe your inhabitants many times a day -- if something dies you want to get it out of there ASAP and test the water quality. I had a fish die in QT and get sucked against a powerhead; overnight the water quality got so bad that another fish in QT died.
