QT Questions... and feeding Selcon

I've had my cute Midas Blennie in QT now for a week. He's eating, not stressed, and swimming all over the tank. Pratically eats from my hand.
I've been feeding him small amounts of enriched Brine and Formula 2 in the morning (Both with Selcon added) and flake in the evening.
He goes crazy for the flake food.
SG in the QT tank is currently 1.023-1.024, matching my main tank. temp is 82, amm 0, trites 0, trates <5, pH ~8.
What else should I be doing with the QT? Hypo is not currently an option as I don't have a refractometer. I'm wondering how I can make sure that the blennie isn't hosting the ich parasite. Is there any way to be sure even after a 30 day QT time?
As for feeding, I've started using selcon daily in both the QT and the main tank (in the food, in the morning)... Is this too much Selcon? Is there such a thing?
Thanks!

If it has been 30 days with no sign of ich then he probably doesn't have ich, you would notice it if he did have it in that long of a time. You can feed garlic soaked foods, this helps keep ich away.

Sounds like you're doing everything right!

Offer some feeding with garlic soaked food.
