Hello all,
After a rough battle with hair algae over the last few months in my 32 gallon tank, I have decided to restart the tank from fresh. So in the meantime I am looking for a 20 gallon tank to put my two fish in to keep until I can keep and restart my other tank from scratch. If you have one for cheap please let me know.
I’m also looking for a small light to put over top of it, not to keep coral, but just to enjoy the fish.
Thanks in advance.

what equipment do you need for the 20
-
this is set up as a qt but nothing in it. has hob filter, heater, light stand not wide enough so i added wooden expander lol
29 gal 12x30x19

I have several 20 longs and you are welcome to one. In Lima.

This is basically the type of setup I am looking to do. Nothing fancy, but just enough to store my two fish in while I clean up the other tank really good.

Hair algae can be killed completely with flucanzole. Add the flucanzole to the tank, don’t use any carbon or skimmer. In 4-6 weeks it will be completely gone. Then do a big water change to remove all the nutrients after the hair algae is gone. Add a small yellow tang to tank to keep it from coming back or maintenance doses of flucanzole. Easy Peezy.

If I were going to use the flucanzole, would I need to remove the fish, inverts and few remaining corals before doing it?
-
I never have. It works well too.

No need to remove anything. It is perfectly safe to use in a reef tank.

Thanks everyone for the info and the willingness to help. I will be trying the flucanazole and then will go from there after I get all the hair algae killed off! thanks everyone!!!
-
One more question is should I add the small yellow tang before I kill it all off, or wait until the tank is cleaned up?
