im sorry i meant to say 20 gal hex tank i was just so freaked last night i couldnt really think or type right.... btw its only a qt tank that has been up for over 6 months fully cycled... i have cc in there because at the time i could not get live sand. once all my fish go into my 150gal, im putting live sand in. most of the fish in that tank were meant for my 150 (the clowns & goby..just didnt know he put the goby at the time.) tank thats cycled but im not finished landscaping. the only fish i did have in the tank were 2 SMALL clowns.. my lfs guy who took care of my tank while/still i was injured added the extra fish along with what i now know as ALOT of aquel +. the goby, the shrimp and gamma were only in the tank 3 days. i took all my fish out and added them to diffrent qt tanks the stress gave them ick but they are ok. apprently they sent me a "new guy, in training" who did not know what he was doing but they thought it was ok cause i only wanted them to care for 15 small tanks. the owner of the lfs came over today and tested my water for oxygen which was very low due to the amount of aquel + he put in.
