You eiter quickly increased the bio load in your tank or for some reason, such as running your skimmer and doing water changes before you should have, your cycle never fully compleated and you should get that taken care of.

so what do i have 2 do. i dont have a RO/DI unit. shoud i go out and git one cause i just read it some were that it is the frist step in matince. if i left any thing out just say it ight. so i know
 
I think you mean your nitrAtes are at 20?

Anyway, do you have any sort of a clean-up crew, such as snails or hermit crabs?
 
If it is indeed nitrates then a good water change with ro/di water should help a lot. I just posted a reply to your other thread after reading about your tang what is your water change schedule.

GOOD place to start but just so you know RO/DI water is not a magic cure, also with the news that you hace a fish with HLLE I would suggest that you do 10% twice a week untill that is fixed up.

i just tock my hippo tang out and put him in my hospalt so i will fix him up in that tank so i dont have 2 mess up my reef tank. that is a good ider right or na
 
That should be fine. What size tank is it and how big is the tang?
You should really pick up some extra test kits (ammonia, nitrite and nitrate along with ph) so that you can keep a good eye on the paramiters of the QT tank. Make sure he gets the nutrition that Germanman prescribed and that the water stays as close to perfect as humanly possible. It would be my suggestion to do twice weekly 10% or greater water changes with premade water that has the exact temp. and ph. Also keeping a little extra on hand "just incase" would be advisable so if you test and something is wrong you can fix it right away.

GOOD LUCK AND KEEP US UP TO DATE!!!!!!!!!
