I wanna make sure I'm dosing metro correctly.. I've been putting the powder in a small cup of tank water and swirling it to mix but there has still been powder present when pouring it in the tank. I've made sure to pour it in a high flow area to be dispursed
Yes metroplexWhich metro product are you using? Metroplex or something else??
Yes metroplex
Ok the first dose was only 1 scoop per 10 gallons. Maybe that's why I'm losing fish I've double today's dose and will have some focus here tomorrow to start that. Hope these others pull through..You'll want to dose on the high side for uronema - 2 spoons/measures per every 10 gallons. Repeat every 48 hours for 14 days.
You also need to food soak Metroplex (using Seachem Focus to bind it), and feed that medicated slurry daily to kill uronema internally.
Another question, since I've lost one and will most likely lose a couple more of this batch, would I be able to get another group and add them to the same quarantine? Or is it not recommended to add new fish to an existing already medicated quarantine?
Was just hoping to save on quarantine time. It won't hurt anything to introduce them to the display separately?I would get these through QT, sterilize your QT and then try again with another batch.

Hm. Think that would still be a better bet then trying to introduce more to the quarantine?Well, chromis tend to squabble anyway so there’s no telling how established ones will react to new additions. Sorry, wish I had better news for you today.

Well I've lost 3 of the 6 chromis I have so far. Is there much hope of saving them once they start developing the red spots or are they pretty much goners at that point?
I don't have another quarantine tank to use..I'd get more aggressive with treatment. Giving the survivors a 45 min formalin bath: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/formalin.290925/
OR 90 min Rally bath: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/acriflavine.282887/
OR a 5 min FW dip: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/freshwater-dip.248898/
After one of those, transfer them into a sterile QT (to prevent reinfection) and resume dosing metro for 10-14 days (on the high end).

Ok I will do that. I don't have any of the dips on hand so it will have to be a fresh water bath.Do one of the baths or FW dip, and then put them back into the same QT. Keep dosing metro in there every 48 hrs. Hopefully the baths/dip will provide enough temporary relief so metro can finish it off.
How often should I do the freshwater dips?Ok I will do that. I don't have any of the dips on hand so it will have to be a fresh water bath.
