Setting up a Quarintine tank??? HELP

[speedo2wet]

Well Maybe this is out there but I am unable to locate it so any help will be greatly appreciated. I have decided to go the Quarintine tank route for new fish with a 10g tank.
I was told to take 10g out of the main reef tank and place that in the Quarintine tank and then place the fish in there and be good for a week or so. I noticed that after a day or so the tank became very cloudy (just a piece of filter floss was used from the old tank in the side filter for the bacteria. Is this done all wrong? What should be done differently? How should a Quarintine tank be set up for new fish? how does everyone else do the QT for their new fish.

The QT tank should have a some kind of HOB filter,Whisper filters work good.The tank should have a heater and some PVC fittings/pipe for the fish to hide in and around.It's going to need lighting(nothing special)so you can observe the fish in QT.
It's a good idea to leave fish in QT for at least 2 weeks.

I use a canister filter with bio-rings, a 25W UV sterilizer and a aqua C HOB protein skimmer on my 30g bare-bottom QT. Normally hyposalinity is my first choice of treating external parasites so the biological fiteration will be fine in that case. If I have to use copper, I will replace the biorings with new ones after treatment and provide the source of bacteria.

how does one go about doing hyposalinity treatment? and for what diseases does it work

This is pretty new to me and I have decided that it's better than infecting everyone else (fish). I have a hang on filter with some biio balls inside running at this time. I noticed the other day that the water was cloudy. I changed about half and added the top off water. Some detrius was on the bottom which I think came from the uneaten food that I placed in the tank to feed the fish that passed away. should I just empty the whole thing and start over. I was wanting to get the tank Up and running so I could try and acclimate and add a new fish.
