Brooklynella and fallowing a tank

[kenzielauren8]

I was going to fallow for the 6 weeks but my question is after this fallow period how will I be able to prevent it happening again? I know a lot of people don’t quarantine CUC and corals...I just don’t wanna wait 6 weeks for nothing. Thanks.

Would it be safe to add more hermits or snails? Thanks!
