Would it be possible to [acronym:f36f32e613="quarantine or quart depending on context"]qt[/acronym:f36f32e613] a small-medium sized yellow tang and a small goby at the same time in a 10g [acronym:f36f32e613="quarantine or quart depending on context"]qt[/acronym:f36f32e613] tank? I understand bio-loads and the implicatoins associated with overcrowding, but i was thinking with routine water changes...maybe every other day or so...i could [acronym:f36f32e613="quarantine or quart depending on context"]qt[/acronym:f36f32e613] both of those at the same time. I'm not trying to be impatient...just save a little money by getting both at the same time when i order online. Me=somewhat poor college student.

I see no problem with it so long as you watch the parameters and do changes as necessary. Must be a might small tang though. lol
