I have a 55 gal tank and need to setup a quarantine tank for it. From what I have researched, they say to get between a 10-20 gal tank. Should I go for the 10 or 20? Also as far as setup, live sand, gravel, dry rock, . What should I put in the thing? I have been told bare bone setup, what constitutes "bare bone"? Anyone with setup suggestion please?

IJbird82,
I would just go with the 10 gal. they're around $10 at my LFS. Bare bones would be no sand or live rock, simple HOB power fliter or sponge filter and light. I would place a few pieces of 4" PVC pipe in the tank so the fish can hide and feel safe. That's it.

Yeah - an aquarium is ideal for monitoring the fish, but if you're in a pinch you could always use one of the plastic storage bins from a home dept. store. I think a 30 gallon one is like $8 - $10.
