No problem. QT fish only nitrates shouldnt be a big deal till they get way up like in 100+ppm range. but with normal water changes u should be just fine.
remember with every water change ur copper level will go down so recheck and redose accordingly.
Also i would not recommend keeping qt at 0.5 copper all the time for 6 months.
I strongly recommend getting fish or 2 at a time slowly adding copper. i would stagger the dosage over several days to reach 0.5 as fish cant take copper very well and some will die. If you introduce fish right out 0.5 u will see more fatality rate.
