Are you testing and changing your QT water?
Ammonia will spike almost immediately in a QT tank and eventually it will also cycle and you will get NO2 and NO3 spikes as well.
The best advice I was given, re: QT tanks, is test the water frequently (like every couple of days) and change the water alot. (25% water change every day).
I know it's alot of work, but it's worth it, IME.
BTW, Coppersafe is my QT med of choice. Just supplement on top of regular dose, to account for so much water changing.
(QT'ed a Powder Blue, and others, this way, no prob).
Cheers,
