I just finished up the new setup for my office at work. It’s taken me quite a bit of time so I’ve qt’d and grown out fish in several tanks at home. They have all been healthy and disease free for several months. I have fish from 4 tanks to introduce in to the new display. Would you consider a waiting period after releasing each batch of new fish in to the display?

If you already own all the fish, and have been quarantining them for a few months, I think you would be fine to just add them all. Second quarantine seems excessive to me. As long as the bacterial colony of the new tank is sufficient to handle the bioload, which is unrelated to the point of the quarantine.
