I'll use a QT tank if I'm going to be treating with hyposalinity - that's it.

If I'm buying a new fish (which I haven't for a number of years now), I'll make sure it's been in the LFS tank for a few weeks, and that I know how the LFS tanks are maintained.

IME, popeye has always gone away on it's own and a few water changes probably helped out.

I use my Qt tank when I aquire a new fish etc, i will watch it for about a week and then introduce it to the regular tank, any fish I have had that has shown any signs of illness is usually too far gone to be saved. But I won't usually introduce a new fish until I have seen how it goes for about a week or so.
