Quarantine inverts??

[cavyroo]

Ok, Since I have read that ich can be carried in on snails and inverts...would you recommend to put new snails and hermits lets say in a quarantine tank and treat the tank with invert safe med to kill the ich?

I ask, cause I am sure that is how I got ich in my 80gal..I have not added anything new to it in over a month and half..and then my tang got ich....

needless to say I did lose all 4 fish in there but my scooter blenny...(besides the anenome eating my firefish)...

SO..for future what do you think?
Kent Marine has a product called RX-P.
Its to kill ich..or parasites in snails and fish..its safe all but for starfish, corals...etc..

But if I set up a small 10gal just for the snails..treat them in there for 13days (what it says on the bottle)

WOuld you all recommend that? Or what do you all do?
Thanks!

You don't have to treat them at all. Simply hold them in quarantine long enough so that any hitchhiking cysts/tomonts hatch and then die because they didn't find a fish host. Generally, one month is long enough.
