hello so I went threw a massive velvet outbreak wiping out almost everything after letting it go fallow for 76 days I have been quarantining everything coral inverts fish but my problem is I can’t get the super hard acros and some lps to live in the qt tank but do good I’m the main tank. I will be getting pre quarantined inverts from dr reef and only quarantining coral with viable pest. I only get coral from one place with a few tangs and a wrasses or two and that’s it the owner told me they don’t add any new fish so I was wanting some other opinions?

There's really no need to QT corals from a disease stand point. It's very very rare for a coral to carry a fish disease. You should definitely QT them if you want to avoid pest transfer, but even then, most hobbyists don't do this. The most we do is dip our corals to get rid of the possible current inverts on the coral

Thank you for the feedback!!!
 
The other thing you could do is remove the frag plug/base before planting the coral into your tank.
