Is it nessesary to QT shrimps for the full 76 Days or can you move them 100% safely From the QT to the DT after they molt?
 
You'll find a lot of opinions from those that don't QT their inverts, those that QT for a few weeks/45 days, and those that QT for 76 days. It really comes down to your previous experiences and risk tolerance. For a great write up on the issue, check this post and decide for yourself.

The recommendation for shrimp is to go 45/76 days, or until first molt is observed (assuming you do not transfer any of the original water to the tank).
