I think it depends on what size your DT is. If you have a small DT 30-50 gallons than a small QT is fine 10gallons. If you have a medium DT 75-150 than you probably want a medium QT 30 gallons. If you have larger 200+ then a larger QT of 50gallons. That also depends on what size fish you will have in there and how many at a time. Again if you are getting small fish and 1-2 at a time then a small QT will work. If you have a large DT and plan to QT several medium to large fish all at once you will need something bigger.

20 long

I would 100% agree with what @New&no clue said above. It's all on your DT size, and what size of fish you plan on quarantining.

For years I used a standard 29 gallon tank. Maybe once or twice I had a fish in it that actually needed the space, even though it was for a short time.
Last year I figured I'd down size and went to a 20 long.
Saves me a little on salt and meds.

20 Gallon Aqueon is perfect.

I have a few different tanks that I can press into service as a QT as needed. The 20L gets by far the most use and is good, frankly, for any fish (or group of fish) up to about 4-5". I almost never buy fish bigger than that anyhow.

Thanks everyone much appreciated. Think I’m going with a 20 gallon long. I think with the info above it fits my DT size and size fish that I would be getting. Thanks again!

3 gallon X 2. Use t.t.m. , aquaflavin & metradonazol 14 days for fish. Dip and go on corals
