Not necessary to add anything when putting new fish in the QT tank, only when you start seeing signs of sickness then you treat it. The only stuff I add for new fish in my QT is stress guard (or what ever the name is) from seachem and when I feed garlic guard. That worked fine for me and no problems what so ever.
Ok so i must get that also i just dont want to redo everything again if i get a ich outbreak in my tank due to improper qt. How long should i qt for if their is no signs of illness

A safe bet would be a month, I know of guys that have even stretched it to 3 months. I guess it depends on how sensitive the fish is that you qt (like the powder blue you had).
Jip thats the one that caused it all lol
