I am receiving 2 small to medium tangs from Dr. Reefs. on Thursday and want to set up an observation tank. My plan is to just use a large Bio brick from my sump, an HOB filter and a small power head in a standard 20g tank. I will also put an ammonia alert card in the tank just to be on the safe side. The bio brick has been in my sump for 3 years and there are already 8 fish in the tank that I will be taking the brick from, (3 tangs 3 damsels a six line wrasse and a mandarin).

My question is weather or not there will be enough bio filtration available in that brick for the 2 small to medium tangs?

depending on the size of the bio brick it should be totally fine is it the xport bio brick?
