Question on QT....

I've read the sticky and threads regarding setting up a QT and think I have the basics down. There are a lot of conflicting opinions but can you give me a sense on what add to your QT when you put a new fish in? Do you put medications in the QT just as preventative measures even if the fish looks strong and is eating well? Or do you add it only if something shows up during the QT process of a few weeks?

My protocol is do Tank Transfer method(TTM) on all fish for ich. Then followed by 30 days in the QT with two rounds of prazipro for internal parasites.

I do TTM first and then 2 rounds of prazipro. So, my total QT time is about a month
