One more thing, would you recommend i put nitrofurazone into the qt tank?

No - unless you see obvious symptoms of a primary bacterial infection.

Don’t use carbon, it removes many medications. The biomax is safe.

Ok thanks again for all the advice,

one final thing how should i acclimate all the fish that are already in my DT to QT
should i use freshly made water or tank water?

It depends on your set up; how much water you can make in a given amount of time.

1) If you can make up new water equal to the volume of the QT at one time, you could fill the QT with DT water, then move the fish over with no acclimation and top the DT up with the new water you just made.

2) If you can’t make enough water at one time equal to the volume of the QT, then just fill the QT with new water over a few days. Then, ensure the water in the QT is exactly the same salinity and temperature as the DT and then move the fish over.

I like option one because by using “old” water to fill the QT, your DT gets the benefit of a big new batch of water.
