Velvet free swimmers

Will a magnum polisher with diotom powder remove velvet free swimmers?

My poor fish have been in QT for 72 day follow fail. Now going on week three again in QT with cooper close to max. I've been running the DE filters as much as I can. I have two polishers and four filters for them. I run them for 24 hours then replace filters with out diotom powder for 24 hours then two days off for cleaning filters with bleach. DT is 120 gallons. And I've been running a cheap UV but rated for 120 gallons. Should I still wait the six weeks?

I personally would wait and I know that’s not what you want to hear. It would only take one to get through and start the reinfestation all over again. How did your first fallow period fail?

I can't stay away from the LFS got some snails and corals and didn't have a QT for them. Now I'm all setup for coral QT!! Or maybe I didn't have enough copper.
