Sounds like you want to make the right steps but I would suggest researching the life cycle. It will take more than 4 weeks and it can travel on anything.
Just wondering, why do you want to add a canister filter? I see more harm than good. Also you do not want to add it if you used any chemicals with it on our qt tank

On adding the canister - I've been told I need to turn my tank over 8-10times/hr. I have a fluval 204 and a cascade 700. Those will do it together but not one all alone. It's not a drilled tank and setting up a refugium seems like a bigger cost than just simply adding the second canister. Plus I can use one canister for carbon/denitrator and the other for media. Just a thought
I'll do my best to wait the 6 weeks, but with no guarantee from any LFS (how could they) that I'm not getting ich(crypto) tainted fish it sort of seems like a waste. I guess waiting for my DT to clear just takes one element out of the equation.
I thought when crytpo fell off the fish and entered the tomont stage it adhered only to substrate/live rock/decorations in the tank? I understand it can take 6-9 weeks and the longer the better. I'll wait to add the other canister until I put the fish in.
Should I/could I get the fish in 3 weeks and QT them until the DT is ready? Using that canister from the original problem if I dumped the media and put fresh bags of carbon/media/sponges would that be ok? Or, wait 8 weeks then get fish and still QT them for 2 weeks?
I hope this all makes sense
