Get a HOB filter that is rated higher than what your quarantine tank will be. I used an AC110 on my 75g quarantine. Get extra biomedia as much as you can fit in there. I used the standard sponge, rings and then a smaller set of rings from an AC20 to put by the water intake chamber. Leave the carbon out. Add some biospira or stability (bacteria) and then feed the quarantine tank like you would if you had a fish in there. Get an ammonia spike and wait for the tank to run its course. After the nitrates come down, then do a large water change and check your parameters again. If they are OK then you can add a fish and carbon if no medication is being used. Feed lightly. This might be considered too conserative for some, but my fish is doing great. He is eating regularly and is exploring the tank.
