This is exactly what the quarantine period is designed for - it means any problem like mites etc is contained in a small discrete area. Can you imagine the problems and expense of something like this in a big breeders facility if they didnt use strict QT?

Rushing to put him in the rack with other animals if he has not previously been in close proximity is , to be blunt, a very bad idea.

Mites can spread other infections so you need to bear that in mind.

He is on the total opposite side of the house from where my rack is. And no point missed. I just got done treating the two other tubs that were in the QT room with him. And the instructions on the PAM bottle said to treat the tub/substrate then repeat in two weeks. So since it said repeat in two weeks I assumed I could put them in the rack in one month. Thank you for the help!!!! So two months?
