quarintene my clown

I have two clown fish that reside in my display tank. i noted about 3 days ago that one has white spots on fin and side. I am assuming it is ick. I was able to catch the infected fish this am and moved to a QT. my plan is to lower the SG. my question is how low to go and do i need to remove the snails and crabs in the QT tank first?

thanks for your help

Don't do it in your display tank remove all the fish and QT them all. the DT has to go fishless for 8 weeks to kill off the parasite. Let me find a link for you.
