I don't think there is a specific formula or number that will show that. It all depends on what type of fish you are quarantining.
What is your livestock list and what size tanks are you using for the TTM?
Also your DT would need to be fishless for 76 days to make sure that all the parasites are eliminated from it.
If you are getting a new tank setup, you can get new sand and give a bleach OR acid bath to your rocks, let them fully dry and then you can reuse them safely. All your equipment would need to be sanitized with a bleach solution as well and then fully dried.
This way you can setup your new tank, all clean equipment, let it cycle and when your qt and observation is done, in the new tank the fish can go.
Another suggestion: if you can get your hand on chloroquine phosphate, that would make your life a lot easier. you will need a vet to give you a prescription for it. CP will treat for ich, velvet, uronema and brook. you treat once for 30 days and done with it.
