All good but the thing to realize about these kinds of issues is DOC is not represented in your water quality readings. Even though the readings are zero, DOC is still present and will feed the problem. I am fairly sure with your husbandry so far that water changes are being performed but it can help if you step them up some depending on what you do now? If doing them more than once a wek I'd say you're good to go.

If available to you, I would also suggest using Ocean Nutrition frozen foods. They contain Beta Glucan which will boost the immune response further and aide in the speed of the recovery process. Dry/freeze dried is often not that nutritionally complete.
