I noticed that my angel has some Ich. I set up a QT yesterday. I filled the QT with tank water, threw in some biomedia and a filter pad, along with a splash of Fritz Turbostart 900 and a small amount of fish food for ammonia. I let that cycle overnight. I just tested water now and its reading 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, and about 15 nitrates. Am I able to add the fish to the QT today?
 
Yes, keep a eye out on the ammonia going forward.

I bought an ammonia alert badge, should be here tomorrow. What are your recommendations on lighting schedule for QT? Should I leave them off?
