Go to the Disease/Treatment forum and read the sticky there. Should answer a lot of your questions.

Yup...I'd agree that the sticky in the disease&treatment forum has a lot of great info....

Bigger is always better....at least with tank size .
Larger tanks have more stability, and stability is extremely important when you need to medicate fish. Lets say you have to use an antibiotic on sick fish. A larger tank will have the better bioload capacity and can tolerate the hit on its biofilter better when dosed with antibiotics than can a 10.
I alway recommend at least a 20gal L for QT, unless you plan to QT very small fish only.
So, if you have the choice, go with the bigger tank.

Hey, sometimes its good to leave Disease Forum Threads out here in the forums...the discussion might encourage other hobbyists that don't visit that forum to do some of things that we commonly talk about in the Disease Forum, such as setup a QT or use a refractometer.
