I am currently quarantining a few fish (yellow tang, fairy wrasses and two clown gobies) that survived a parasite outbreak. It is not certain whether they had Brooklynella, marine velvet, and/or crypto. I treated them with formalin baths and tank transfer and they are doing well now in a 29 gallon quarantine tank. The display tank is fallow for a while, so I have time to adminster hyposalinity on the fish if need be. What are your thoughts? I don't want them to bring anything else into the display. Thanks!

Hypo after TTM makes not much sense (other than for stress reduction - but for that 1.016 would be the lowest I would go)
It would only make sense to treat with hypo against a clearly identified ich infection if you have too many fish to treat at once with TTM.
To be absolutely sure the fish are ich free you could then do TTM with them one by one or in small groups before transferring them into the DT.
If Brook or Velvet are suspected you may consider adding formalin dips and treating the fish also for at least 2 weeks with CP
