Iso tank maintenance

[Kermie16]

Since I recently was able to move all of our post molters to the 55g tank. Our 20 g is still up and running with fan, UTH and bubblers running. Wondering if it would be best just to keep this running as a ready to use iso or take everything down and just keep it all inside ready to go just in case or just get rid of it all as I also have a 10g (what we stared with) but without all the bells and whistles - literally with just sub and UTH and glass top. Suggestions?? Ideally, if needed, I would like to iso in main tank with a KK. But thinking I would need the 20g stuff if anything happened that I would also possibly need to move all hermies into another tank and clean out main tank (like bacterial growth etc). Thoughts, suggestions? Thanks!!

Have you decided what to do?? I'm also considering keeping an ISO... the pre-established good bacteria would hopefully help to out-compete more potentially harmful stuff... buuuut if the upkeep is a drag, I probably wont bother.

I ended up taking it down to the bare bones. Nothing left in the tank but the sub which I'm letting dry out. I washed all the pools to let dry. The Uth remains attached. I put all the potential ISO stuff in a storage container including the timers and power strip so if I ever need it, I can just pull it out immediately and get it going:)

I have a 20 gallon set up but not running. It is complete, but I would need to hydrate the sub, fill the bowls and heat the air before adding any critters.

My iso is dried out and waiting like mool mentioned above but i just have a beach pail with an uth lol. It looks fun inside for crabbies though
