Thank you

Do you recommend prazi powder because of the increased risk of a bacterial bloom? Can you point me towards what brand would be good thank you.

Prazi powder has a decreased risk of bacterial blooms. I think you can get it on Amazon. Prazicleanse is one brand.

I’m getting ready to quarantine my fish for marine ich using copper Power

Questions:

I have six medium size tang all 4 inch or less and three small angels

You do not quarantine your fish 'for 'marine ich'. Instead you quarantine.

Can I use some of the existing water from the tank They are in as opposed to 100% brand new saltwater.

It makes not difference - if the parameters are the same

Realizing it may be a little more difficult to control copper levels is there an opinion as to when I can put a couple pieces of live rock in there to help seed bacteria

You should be checking ammonia - and doing water changes. IMHO

Am I better off getting two tanks at about a 55 gallon size given the fish load?

If you can do all of them in one tank do it

Is there an opinion as to whether or not, I should put a light on top or should daylight be sufficient in terms of feeding them?

daylight is sufficient

I’ve quarantined before, but it’s always been less fish and prophylactically never for treatment

thanks a lot fish medics

I think you will find it easier than you think!! Let us know what happens - quarantine is for fish without illness. You're running a so-called hospital tank
