Right now, my daimond goby and big eye soldier fish are in a QT tank. I plan to move them before my new fish arrive by post. My question is; how should I acclimate these fish back into the reef? They are being dosed with copper... Can I just drip acclimate them or is there a process because of the copper?

Also should I reset the tank cause of the copper? I just want them in QT so i can make sure they dont have ich or flukes or anything like that

If it helps my new fish arriving is short body soldier fish, lookdown fish, and a pipefish. (i think the lookdown and pipefish wont adjust well to the copper)
 
For the transfer from the qt to the dt, just make sure not to pour the water from the qt in with the fish. Drip then net.

Your qt should be reset after every inhabitant.
