Oh yeah...

I haven't used a powerhead in the QT tank as I have my Koralia nano in my new salt water tank. I kept the temperature at 78.

Had the 20g been up and running for a while or did you just set it up for Qt'ing recently? Do you know if the QT tank was cycled already? Or were you reading ammonia and nitrites in the QT tank? If there is any of each (ammonia or nitrites) that could spell trouble for the fish. Aggressive water changes will help dilute it but its still there unless the tank has sufficient bacteria from a cycle.

Water movement is good in any tank. It helps prevent stagnation.
