Coral quarantine best practices

[ViciousDlishus]

I have recently set up a coral quarantine for my new system. Pretty simple setup:

20 gallon long
hob filter with cycled sponge
2 powerheads
heater

I acquired some cheap sps frags and threw them in the tank before I was fully set up and as a result didn't have coral Rx ready to dip prior to putting them in the tank. Ive also got some snails in there waiting their 76 days.

I visually inspected, didn't see anything out of the ordinary. These were all fresh cuts and I mounted them on new plugs. A couple of the monti caps had some dead skeleton showing. Its been about 2 weeks now and nothing out of the ordinary has been identified.

Should I dip before putting them in my system after 76 days?
Is there a benefit of dipping them now?
Has the qt been compromised?

Qt tanks are a good practice. Personally I just heavily dip/treat my corals on arrival and inspect them. Then glue them in the display. Sounds like you should dip them since you are worried for piece of mind.
