My fish are showing signs of ich!!! I QT all my fish before I put them in the display, but somehow I still got it.

Anyway, I'm planning on removing all of them an putting them in my QT. (20 gal.)

Will this be big enough for
1 LongNose Butterfly 3"- 4"
1. Hippo Tang 3"
2. False Percula - both about 3"
1. Lawn mower Blenny. 4"

Thanks
 
20 gal should be enough. The trick is being able to keep excellent water quality. Your qt will require more attention from you. Watch out for ammonia spikes, it will kill your fish quickly.
Using hypo enables you to use any filtration you want. It does not kill good bacteria. You can even use a skimmer, which I highly recommend to keep Oxygen levels high.

Good Luck!

MORE PEOPLE SHOULD SPEND TIME HELPING PEOPLE OUT ON TIPS TO DO QT RATHER THAN SPEND ENDLESS MOMENTS ARGUING ON WHO'S RIGHT OR WRONG WHEN IT COMES TO THE DREADED ICH! THEY WILL BE THE FIRST ONES TO TELL YOU "USE QT!" BUT WON'T GIVE ANY TIPS ON HOW. THAT'S WHY A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO USE QT AND FAIL GOES THROUGH A LOT OF FRUSTRATION. SO COME ON GUYS WAKE UP! STOP ARGUING ABOUT ICH!:)
