I guess my first question is how will you treat the fish for ich? You may have issues with some species due to copper sensitivity. You could do hyposalinity dependent also on your fish species. Copper will also kill your live sand and affect the nitrafying bacteria.
Good luck. I've had all my fish in qt for almost 3 months. And made a couple of mistakes. Mainly my copperband butterflyfish was sensitive to copper and died.

As I catch them, they will first receive a freshwater dip, then into the tank Transfer Method 5 gallon buckets for ich, treat prazipro in conjunction with TTM, then into 20 gal QT tank for a week or 2, if good, then into trough to wait out DT fallow period.
I’m not a copper fan, plus I have some wrasses. I’m sorry about the copperband, that’s on my wish list.
