Quarantine tank

Don't know which forum to put this in. What size tank would I need to set up for a quarantine tank? Never had an ich problem before, bought a Flame angel and 2 days later he was so white with spots his red really did not show. What would I need in it? Does it need lights, what type of filtration. Any help will be great.

If there were other fish in the tank with this fish then they all have to be presumed infested with ICH as well as the tank they were in. I use a 20 gallon tank for my QT and it works out well for me. But it all depends on your situation. If you're going to try and QT 10 fish at the same time the a 20gal would be inadequate.http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=1785881
