The post was initially made in regards to a fish only tank, but issues related to QT tanks were also mentioned. I'd always have some sort of cover for a fish. The question was in relation to chemical parameters of the water.

So, if appropriate rock (or Matrix, or whatever) is used, what parameters need to be addressed, all the usual that would be checked for a reef tank, or just salinity, and temperature?

Regarding the QT, when you had to do 50% daily changes, was this with a sponge? How did you know you had to change the water, did an ammonia badge go off?
