To small for a QT?

Hey guys, due to ich and possibly other unknown pests, my DT needs to go fallow and I have to pull my fish. I've lost a few so I don't have too many, but I was wondering what size of a QT I can get away with for the following fish:

Maroon Clown pair
Yellowtail Damsel
Broadstripe Cleaner Goby
Mandarin

I have a 10 gal nano that I was using as my HT. If I do bi-weekly water changes, is this big enough to hold these fish for six weeks? I know ideally you're supposed to have enough gallons to support your biggest fish permanently (clowns = 30gal), but I don't necessarily have the money or space to be getting another setup right now.

Thanks for the advice!

I see an issue with the clowns -- a pair of maroons can be very aggressive. If possible, it would be best to have them in their own 10 gallon, and the others in your existing one.
