I have a 33 gallon qt tank that I've had running since my display tank got infected with ich about 10 months ago. What a pain! I will always quarantine fish from now on. I left my 90g DT fallow for three months ( had to set a trap to catch the fiish) and did the tank transfer method for all the fish for 2 weeks. Then set up a quarantine tank. The tank transfer was easy just a lot of hassle. It worked perfect my fish are now disease free and have been in the DT for 6 months with no issues. Never thought of doing tank transfer for new fish but I guess it makes sense.

I have a question? How long do you suggest leaving new fish in a QT tank?

I run TT then Qt, I use Large rubbermaid storage containers for the TT and once I'm done they stack and store pretty easily.
I then have a 20G long QT system that I keep running with live sand, red macro algae and some pvc tubes, also have a cerith and astrea snail in there.

I've run all my fish through the system, Dartfish, Cardinals, Mandarin etc
My Atlantic blue tang just finished QT today ( I added him to the DT while the rest were getting breakfast ) he swam straight over and munched on the mysis.
