Good move on the longer tank Adam
 On the advice of Albert, I covered the back and sides of my QT I didn't have anything really handy except a black garbage bag, but it worked great My QT fish calmed down right away Mine is on a black stand and is bare-bottom so all was good Later on I added travertine tiles to the bottom to cut the glare but I didn't have fish in there long enough to see any results Hopefully Bart will not look like his namesake for long  Keep up the good work

This little dude is doing pretty good. Still a little timid and has slowed down eating compared to the first few weeks but still finishes his food. Dorsal fin is healing nicely but his head and dorsal are a little faded. He's got probably at least another month before hitting the display tank. I may even try to remove my 6 line before that, he can be a real wrasse hole!
Any advice on treatment for this guy much appreciated. All parameters are good, salinity around .025 temperature 25c, 20G long, tetra whisper internal filter rated for 40G, korella 550, 12 or so lbs of live rock, aerated while lights are on (timed for 9 hours a day) single t5 10k bulb, glass cover, painted back, 1 side and bottom.

Big thanks to Nick at reef supply canada for his donation of new era marine grazer and flake algae. I'll have this guy fattened up in no time
 On a second note, HLLE isn't contagious (or at least no inhabitants in my DT are known to be affected) so I'm considering moving this guy over. More room, natural growing algae and a more stable water column. I'll give it a few days, if he starts eating better I'll leave him. If not I'll make the switch.

Moved this guy into my display tank about a week ago. He's doing fantastic. Much more at ease than in the quarantine. Comes out for feeding too. He enjoys the marine grazer with the rest of the fish and is filling out nicely. I break the grazer up into little pieces, they don't really go for it otherwise. I'm pretty much at the limit of my fish stock so he may be the last addition to my tank. Just coral from now on

That's so great - made me sad watching him deteriorate at the store, glad you rescued him! My tang chows down on chaeto as well, always stick a clump in when the lil fuge gets full!

Great to see this happening.
Good on you for putting in the effort needed to give Bart a chance.
