Quarantine

Hi Guyz,
I have an empty 55 gallon tank that has been nuked (bleached clean) and stands ready to be cycled. I also have a 30 gallon quarintine tank preped. I plan to order my first six discus from the same source breeder.
I have read many posts and articles about the importance of quarintine and medical fitness. But I have either not seen or I have missed the described scenerio as stated above in terms of the load introduction in to an empty cycled tank.
My question is do I follow the same quarantine description in inaugurating my first herd of discus. Placing them in my 30 gallon through several weeks detoxification before putting them in to my show tank without any inhabitants?
