Hello all, a problem I need advice on, set up my 37 gal with uncured live rock cycle for about 6 weeks all readings were good. at 8 weeks added a clean up crew snails and hermit crabs waited another 2 weeks then added 2 false percula clowns they WERE great until 2 weeks after that I added a royal gramma that had 3 small white spots (didn’t quarantine) (stupid on my part) well week and half later 1 clown dead and gramma I assume is dead I haven’t seen it in three days. I removed the other clown fish and a friend has it.
Now from the reading I ved done I came to the conclusion that it is marine velvet. I was going to let the tank run for 4 weeks so that the marine velvet can crash and DIE. I will do water changes every week about 25% and vacuum the live sand also. I have purchase a 10 gal tank to use as a quarantine tank. Does this sound like a good plan or do I need to do more??? Also will the snails and hermit crabs be OK?

40 lbs live sand
Remora c protein skimmer
Fluval 405 canister filter
