Is there a good all in one nano Q tank for inverts?

So right now my 220G DT is on day 27 of a 72 day fallow period after I discovered ich in the tank. Up until now I haven't quarantined inverts, but after spending three days catching fish, two weeks with 5 gallon buckets and 37G totes putting all of my fish through the TTM, and now another 55 days with a fallow DT I think I need to step up my quarantine procedure

I'm thinking I wont need more than a nano with a decent light to quarantine inverts, but I've been more interested in big tanks and haven't really spent any time looking at nanos. Is there a decent inexpensive nano that you guys might recommend as an invert Q tank?

why do you need an all in one? get a petco dollar sale tank and ad a HOB filter or sponge filter. but if you want something more fancy look in to SCA nano

Get an old 29G biocube. You will need to be able to feed them, so you will need some surface area for the snails and stuff to feed. They can starve in a clean QT.

Hmm, I was thinking that there might be a nice all in one with a decent light for corals and filter and everything built in to make it quick and easy, but I guess I'm not totally against putting something together myself. Especially if it would be considerably cheaper
