Ah, I see (sometimes I'm dense lol) I thought the reason for isolating was to keep the others from being exposed to the meds. Duh, it's to keep the others from being exposed to the gunk coming out of the cyst. You're a few step ahead of me in the common sense dept on this this one lol I dug around last night after I signed off and found a 20 g Long tank in the closet I didn't know I had. Found a 30 g Hex, too, but he can't stay in that. I guess 20 Long has the same surface area as a 30 g, he should be alright for a week or so in that even though it's small. Thank you, you always come through.
