I generally go 3-5 weeks on QT. pending they are in good health.
any issue's during the QT means at least 2 weeks post success of treatment to make sure they are back to full health.

Around 4 weeks for me as well.
If at anytime I notice something that I need to treat with meds, I will wait about 4 weeks after the treatment is done. I have some fish in QT right now that I got in Nov, but had to treat them for a really bad ich outbreak. I am planning on putting them in the main tank in the next few weeks provided everything goes well.
If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

90 days. Yeah, it's a long time but I do a worm schedule and a bunch of other treatments on them and need to see if stuff pops up.

I've a question for those who have an elongated QT schedule: Do you typically have your QT already setup and ready to go, or do you set it up every time you buy new fish or have a sick fish?

Set it up every time. I use a sponge filter from my main tank so it is insta cycled when i get fish.
However, i do 20/30% pwc every couple days and then a big pwc each week to keep the water

+1.
Exactly as Mizzou states with the addition of an extra HOB or canister that I keep cycled on a stocked tank as well. Which filter depends on if I am using a 55G or 29G to QT.
. . . This does kind of depend on your definition of 'set up' though.
My 55 is in the basement, My empty 29 is on the bottom of a double stand, I use them where they sit & I consider neither 'set up' unless they are Stocked, Filled, Filtered & heated [If needed].
There are lots of threads on here about setting up QT tanks.

Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.
