advice needed on quarantine tank

[Raideress]

Hi i have a 25 gallon quarantine tank, i have just added 5 blue green chromis that are pretty young, seen no agression in two days, im just watching them for a while before adding them to DT, a few weeks i guess, id love to grab some anthias as well, but im guessing the small tank for the two species, plus feeding needs wont be compatible in the small tank, nothing else in there, but im also wondering if 5-6 of each in a 80 gallon 4 foot tank will clash? would really love the blues and pinky orange schools in the tank, but needs to work not just look pretty, atm only have a blue tang, a fiji foxface and 2 osc clowns and a mandarin, 2 small stars, 2 trochis and 2 stromb snails, a lot of rock and 3 torches, 3 hammers, frag of xenia and leather toadstool, alverpora, an elegance and a frag of Rasta zoas, everything seems to be going well atm, hoping it continues, but love chromis and anthias

Probably too many for your QT. These are generally peaceful fish but the stress of overcrowding could create some issues. I wouldn't expect any aggression from the chromis or anthias.

Anthais group would be better IMM.
Chromis never seem to last.

You also don't want to add new fish to an already existing quarantine cycle

Best to quarantine for at least 30 days and treat them with Copper, General Cure, and Furan-2.

all at once?

No, start will copper and follow the directions, then go to general cure and follow directions and end with furan-2.
