Can 5.5gal tanks be okay for QT?

[MikeD]

At least for the smaller fish like small clowns, gobys, etc? Or would you just leave the smaller tanks for QTing coral frags and inverts?

10-20 better for QT?

And for QT, I'm thinking of about 6 weeks in terms of time.

The difference in cost is negligible. I'd feel guilty w/ a 10 vs 20.

It's fine as you don't have to use a lot of medication if you have to.
