And I think this exemplifies the theme here. This is what works for you and I would encourage you to keep doing things this way. This does not, however, work for me, and I've been extremely successful with not using QT tank, and I'll continue doing things that way.

So a person wondering what do do can look at both methods, try them both if that's what they want to do, and decide which works best for them. Pretty easy stuff

Some good info here on pretty much the same subject if you're interested:

And FYI quarantine works if done initially, ie before being introduced into the display. It doesn't usually work if the fish is already in the display and then moved over into quarantine due to illness. This is typically where the debate comes from but you're arguing over two different things. Also your QT doesn't have to be small, it can be bigger than the display if you want.
