Why on Earth would they do something like that? You usually know what
your talking about and I'm not disputing you, it just sounds like a

I can't imagine why they would do that either, unless it was to make
some easy money on people ordering the upgrade to the 20 gallon tank.
There are sites all over the net on how to do the fix though.
