I have been into saltwater since the early 90's and I have never quarantined any of my fish or corals and my luck ran out and and the tank crashed.

I tore the tank down and replaced the sand and put in new dry rock and started over. The tank has just finished cycling but I am not ready to put fish in yet.

I am now setting up my separate fish and coral QT tanks and waiting for them to cycle and every new addition will go through quarantine before going into my DT tank.

I am wondering should I ghost feed my DT to keep the bacteria going till I add fish at a clean up crew?

I did. Not much, just a little. When I made food for the fish in QT, I would just put a little in the DT each day.
