I always put my fish straight into the tank. I know it is bad practice according to lots of people, but I like to let the tank take care of everything. I have no diseases to speak of in my tank and all parameters are good. If you have a healthy tank then it should cure a fish.
About 3 weeks ago I introduced a regal tang into my aquarium that was infested with ick. It took only 3 days before the fish was lively and clear of the ick, with no other fish being infected.
This is the reason why I don't like quarantine tanks, because I am so damn lucky when it comes to introducing new species to my tank.
Right now I am knocking on the wood.
