Leave it and hope for the best...

It was mentioned to you in another thread that your 20 gal tank is much too small for this Anemone, and the Yellow Tang you have. Placing both of those in your 20 gallon reef tells me that your a fairly new hobbyist and alothough enthusiastic about your reef, uneducated on what you are purchasing. My best advice to you is to make your next purchase 2 good books at least and spend some time doing some reading before diving into your next purchase.

Good Luck!

I would agree with reefland. I made the same mistake. We had a 20 gallon tank that we tried and it didn't work at all. They say 30 gallons of more at least. I don't know about that exact amount but I went with a 72 gallon bowfront and it has worked good so far. Let me also stress something else. PLAN AHEAD!!!! Ask what you want size wise. Get the equiptment for what you want in the end. That way you don't buy something (say a skimmer) and it isn't big enough later for what you want to upgrade to. If you eventually want a 125 gallon tank, but a skimmer that covers that. It might cost you more at first but is much cheaper in the long run. Do your research first. You'll benefit.
