"You already have them." Should never be a reason for having a QT that is too small imo. I don't think a 10-gallon tank is acceptable for many fish -some gobies, cardinals maybe, Chromis, damsels. That sort of thing.

This is my typical regimen:

40 gallon tank w/ Aquaclear hob filter and powerhead.
Day 1 add fish
Day 3 dose Prazi pro if fish are doing well
Day 8 dose Prazi pro
Day 10 25% waterchange, then add 1/4 dose Copper Safe
Day 11 1/4 dose Copper Safe
Day 12 1/4 dose Copper Safe
Day 13 1/4 dose Copper Safe
Day 14-28 test copper and dose if needed
Day 29 50% waterchange and add carbon
Day 35 if no signs of disease fish go in display

Best practises are to treat with copper for 30 days, I do 14, sometimes a bit more if I see anything suspicious at any point.
