So what's your opinion(s) and/or advice towards the advice given to me above?
There are 2 problems with the above advice.

1. There are no true LIVE bacteria products available in Canada. NONE. You would have to take something from an established tank.

2. New tank stabilizing solution does one thing. It breaks wastes into more basic components, like ammonia faster. This helps provide available food for your bacteria colonies to establish themselves in a new tank. In your specific situation, this could completely screw you over.

You need to just chill and keep an eye on things. You said it yourself, "all the fish and corals look fine". Why would you start moving everything into a QT, risking stress and damage? Take it easy, ease up on feeding and keep an eye on it, it will probably sort itself out.
