And also can i still add bacteria 7 during the process?

FYI:

Once copper treatment done, i will then set up a 2ft tank with just normal hang on back filter as my qurrantine tank for any new fishes in future before entering dt.

Seachem is Cupramine?

If yes, then best just leave the skimmer running only. I would remove the biopellet reactor and rowas. Copper level wise maintain between 0.3 to 0.5, depending on what kind of fishes you have. Do note that Cupramine you have to do for 14 days, and if you add in a new fish the 14 days cycle starts all over again.

If u ask me for my noob advise, i will not use rowa, biopellet and refug for fowlr. Just weekly 50% water change is good enough. For ich, normally 0.3 is good enough. Copper is a good n bad to fish. If your fish is exposed to copper for too long, problem like hlle and colourloss will appear. That y u will see many newbies keeping fowlr but their fishes all colourloss and hlle appearing.
