I think a 10g would work, a 29g would be even better. 
You just need a basic filter for a QT, nothing special.

A sponge filter with an air pump works well too.

Ok so my next thing cuz the only place I can think to keep it is in my living room. Could I keep sand in there and maybe a starfish? Id be willing to put a lil more into it if it wasn't so ugly just sitting there lol!

Is there a way to take them out just if I need to medicate and then maybe move the sand. I know I won't be able to just have an empty tank running so I was trying to get around it. Could I just put a few pieces on live rock in there and move themscottayy said:

Well I'm sure you could. But whatever's in there your biological filter is going to grow on. Move it and you'll have to recycle. You could keep a few small danios in there to have some movement and keep the tank cycled.

Maybe just a few fake plants maybe? Leave them in there. And danios? What about a damsel? They are so much prettier! Lol

I'm still on the fence about a QT but I'll just have to see what happens. I'm gonna get my tank set up first.

You could always just store the tank somewhere. Fill it up with summer clothes or something. Have a sponge filter run in your sump and the other misc item ready, then when/if you need your QT you can set it up with water, the small sponge filter and everything.

FW danios aren't going to cycle a marine QT tank.
I'd buy a small hang on filter and run it on your sump. When you need it for QT, pull it off the sump and put it on a bare bottom QT with PVC for hiding spots. You won't want to use substrate or live rock because you'll nuke them anyway if you have to medicate anything. When you're done with the QT, you can tear it down. Just toss the media from the hang on filter, clean it, and replace with new media before you put it back on the sump. That's what I would do anyway.

Now that I can do! Would a terra wispsr for a 20 gallon be good enough? I know it's an inter but I have one I was going to toss. If not I can buy a cheap one no biggie. And just set up the tank when I need it. Do I need a heater for the QT?
Haha all my clothes are summer clothes living in Florida but I get what your saying.
I was also wondering could I keep a kole tang and a bristle tooth tang in my 75?

Is it ok to have two kinds of the same species. Like 2 different gobies?

So I'm going to do the QT that I just put up when I need it. With an HOB filter on my sump. And now my tank will be safe! Now my question should I do a 10 gallon or a 15 tall?

Yep, I believe that they are the same length, so I would go with the 15g tall too.

They are the same length that's why I went with the two sizes! Ok so 15 it is! Thanks!
