I haven't ever had to quarantine before, but thinking of some really expensive fish so might do it. I'm thinking if I use a 20 gal barebottom, with a u/v filter hooked up, probably would only have to quarantine for a couple of days. ( assuming the u/v would have killed any ich or any other parasites)
What about adding a dose of copper to the quarantine tank. That should kill just about anything ( provided the fish survives LOL )

Mine take about 3 months total. That's because I do the hypo salinity routine which takes a little longer. But I make good use of the extra time to get the new fish feeding well so they are healthy and strong before they go into the display tank.
Be sure you have a fully cycled QT, so you don't have any ammonia or nitrite issues. I keep a canister filter with a sponge running all the time, so it is always ready to go. I recycle display tank water through it when I do water changes. I just completed another QT with new fish, and they are all healthy and happy now in the display tank.
