Not a substitute for a proper hospital or grow-out tank over the longer term — at 1.1 L it's a short-to-medium-term holding space, not permanent housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the air pump running continuously to maintain circulation through the chamber.
