Treatment and quarantine isn't the same as acclimation. You can choose to do acclimation beforehand, then manipulate/treat that water, or use the water that it arrived in, or treat while acclimating (what I usually end up doing). Acclimation should probably be done prior to treatment, as it'll stress the coral less since it at least has cleaner water (in theory) than it's travel water.
