RETF - Just getting started - Hospital/Quarantine Tank

[tinkgirl77]

Thanks so much again. What must king system would you suggest? I don't wanna go crazy with money, but I want to invest what is needed. And feel free to give Abu and all suggestions! I'm still trying to get all my ideas together. Since this is my first. I worked at the zoo here for 8 years and at a veterinary clinic for 8 years as well. And I currently with in the medical field so I do have a good base of knowledge to start. But building the habitat is a little intimidating. What do you suggest for drainage in system? False bottom vs water bottom with suspended plants vs the clay ball things?

A base system will work fine and be plenty reliable. It is also easily expanded, so if you add more enclosures, no need for more equipment. I'm a false bottom person, but they all have their merits. I have a build thread on the mantella tank i built that shows everything i did step by step. Also, don and John's sticky tutorials are excellent sources of info.
