i have to qurantine the fish in my reef because of an ich outbreak. the fish incluse a royal gramma, yellow tang, perc clown, and 2 engineer gobies. my qurantine tank in only a 20 long. Is it ok to overstock it for the month that i will be running hypo? any opinions on what to do?:help:
Thanks,

That is pretty small. If you have a QT how did you get ich to begin with!?
Maybe separate them into a rubbermaid.
What do you have in your display?

i really dont know how ich got in there. I have about 80 lbs of live rock and a 4 inch sand bed. I guess i may just have to cram them all in there for the month. i hope they will be ok.

I think you would be better off getting a larger square rubbermaid, and at least separating the tang.
