I am getting ick in my display tank. I was going to ride it out because I currently have healthy fish in QT, but I want to be able to treat my sick fish. Will a 20gallon long tank be big enough for a yellow tang, coral beauty, 3 springeri damsels, 2 clowns, a midas blenny, orchid dottyback, royal gramma, and a small watchman goby? Just until the display tank has had enough time to go fallow so about 6 weeks?
 
In a word - no, lol sorry. Even if they didn't kill each other, I don't see how you could provide enough bio-filtration to stop ammonia from climbing fast. Try to grab another 20 if you can and split them up.

What about a 40 breeder? Would take less room than 2 20’s
