To keep on QT-ing or release into the big house?

Hi everyone, hope you all are having a good weekend.
Question for the one's very familiar with marine ICH.

Long story short my display 225g tank has remained fishless (fallow) for about 107 days due to a huge ich outbreak in this past July.

In July as well I purchased a Powder Blue Tang and he has been in a separate QT tank the past few months. I treated the QT tank with Coppersafe and Prazi pro. In the few months he hasn't shown any signs of any kind of disease. So with that being said he's been in QT since July and the main display tank has been fishless since July as well. Just corals and a couple of shrimp are all that are in the display tank currently.

Is it safe to release the Powder Blue Tang into the display or shall I wait a few more weeks?

Thanks!

After you were done treating, did you sterilize the qt? We’re they moved to a new qt?

I think you'll be fine. If you treated 30 days with cu and then observed for 77 more days with no signs you'll be fine

For as long as you have been observing the PBT, you will be fine. 107 fallow is plenty long for the ich to die off

Thanks for all the help everyone. I am gonna put him in the 225. If i see signs of Ich ill pull him out and back into QT.

I guess the real question is what was the last thing added to the 225g and when?

Sailfin tang back in July. He decided to make
a jump out of the QT tank and I found him like a potato chip on the floor. The QT tank now has eggcrate for a top. I purchased the Powder Blue and he's been in QT since. I'm going to release him now into the display. I hope I don't see white spots on him..lol
