Quarantine procedures

[flanders]

So I about to start restocking my tank following a bad ick outbreak and a 30 day hyposalinity treatment. I brought my salinity levels back to normal and my crabs and such are active again.

I am ready to start adding to the tank and although I think I am clear on how to handle new fish quarantine. I am curious about

Snails, cleaner shrimp, invertebrates corals….

In short do I quarantine everything that I am adding to the tank?

If so what do I look for / what procedures should I follow.

Thanks much

I have been told to Quarantine everything, and I mean everything from snails to corals to live rock.

but I only Quarantine fish

I put them in a 20 gallon tank with a cheap light heater and filter.

the sponge that goes in the filter is sitting in the sump of my main tank when its not in the Quarantine tank, that way I can set the Qtank up faster.

I also use water from my Main tank, it gives me an excuse to do a water change on it.
