As I have say before - a QT should only be an observing QT - IMO. If bacteria killing medication is needed - do not feed the fish during treatment period. Have a new foam filter - fully seeded - in reserve instead

Why are we still regurgitating old school rules when they are out of date and no longer apply to new school data and methods?

How does using a slow(old science) cycle process kill fish?
I’ll let you demo.
seek out any older cycling article that covers zero ammonia and zero nitrite expectations, covers cycle stalling, and post it here
we can examine the portion in the article about fish disease preps.
old cycling science omits disease prep and leaves the reader thinking their tank is safer, fish are safer, if they wait to begin setup when all three params are in control per API.
new cycling science places all the concern on fish disease preps knowing that the cycle can’t stall, and will be ready for ammonia control by a predetermined date in every setup. New cycling science knows when the cycle will be ready to carry fish before the tank is even wet, reef convention entrants also have a specific date they want set, and it’s attained.
old cycling science produces retail dependent buyers who lose fish at phenomenal rates five months after awaiting the perfect three part compliant cycle.
its ok if you don’t want to link what was requested. If you’re confused it’s ok
maybe snipping out the top part will help

It doesn’t take 3 months.I agree, but also would say that old school advice(ie toss a shrimp in and come back in 3 months) i think is very rarely given anymore.
I think most new reefers are on board with the advancements like bottled bacteria. Most of the resistance comes from old school reefers who have had success in the past and see no reason to change. This is a completely natural progression to me. There is often resistance to new technology or methods or ways of thinking, especially when existing methods still work, albeit not as efficiently in this case.
