I'm in the process of quarantining a few Blue Chromis for my DT (all bought at the same time from the same LFS) and wanted to know when done and I'm ready to add my next fish, can I use the same quarantine water/equipment etc. or does the water need to be changed and equipment cleaned? Is it safe to acclimte the next fish and just add it to that same qt or should there be some type of disinfecting/down period before adding the next fish? I haven't been able to find anything specific about this on the forums. TIA!
 
Have you had any problems with the fish in quarantine? If you didn’t have any problems (ich,velvet, etc) while in QT I would say go ahead and just re-use without breaking anything down.

No problems thus far, they're still in quarantine. Just observing right now, all active and eating.
 
I wouldn’t sweat it then. I’ve normally broken my QT down between batches and cleaned it before running it again, but that was only because it took me months between batches. I just monitor my fish for ~6 weeks and treat with prazi.
