I don't believe in medicating just for the sake of medicating. I give all my fish two rounds of prazi pro and then just observe. some people will treat for ich believing that all fish carry it. if I had a tang I would probably treat for ich. I wouldn't add any other meds unless I actually see signs of something.

Good advice ^above^ and do similar, Prazi-Pro followed by hypo-salinity treatment SOP. Tangs or signs of any Ich then onto a full Cupramine (copper) treatment. There is fine line in using QT systems to weed out parasite possibilities as you don't want to overly stress new fish in a to small, to bright and busy without any hiding areas tank nor do you want to put them in a to large and to comfortable of accommodations in hope of seeing something that may be wrong. So without some type of treatment during this QT process it is not fully effective.

I don't know about others but I have a HT that has been running for ever with low amount of cupramine (0.25ppm) and I have a QT running as well without meds.
I would put in HT for week than QT it for another 3-4 weeks. That's just me
Corals I dip and into the qt
Inverts just into the qt but anemones, I dip them too
