Now what should I do?

I have 2 q-tanks. I was treating fish for ich. The fish in one tank have passed on. Don't think that it was ich, but possibly brooklynella. They had rather large patches of white skin shedding, heavy breathing, and not eating.
Before I do anything else what should I do about the q-tank? I want to make sure any disease or parasite is gone from the tank. I have drained the tank, and washed all the parts with hot water, as well as the tank. How long should I wait before putting any fish in the q-tank.
Also the remaining fish in the other q-tank seem to be getting better. How long should I wait before bringing salinity backup. They have been in hypo for 1 and 1/2 weeks. Symptoms are starting to clear.
Last question. The main tank has been fishless for 3 weeks so far. How long before moving any fish back to main tank?

What do you think about the q-tank? How long should I wait before adding anything else to that tank?
