you should put the fish in a QT for at least 4 weeks...so 6 weeks at the earliest until a fish goes into the DT

I think you'll be ok. I would wait at least 3 weeks or so before adding anything else though. Slow & methodically.

Ok sounds good

The "cycle" never finishes... it is ongoing and will adjust to the bioload of the tank. With that, I would continue to ghost feed the tank a very small pinch of flake food every other day to keep the bacteria population up.
