What's the size of the tang you're picking up? If it's really small, a 13 gallon might work out. Two weeks quarantine should be the bare minimum, though.

it's about 2-3 inches, so pretty small still

I'd still be a bit cautious, given the tang's size.

Nope, didn't happen that way KJ, the specific gravity was off in that tank so it went straight into the 100g.
