Because it's regulated, does that mean a company can't provide it for us in the United States?

This. :/Not without a prescription. The online sources (including ebay) that sell it are most likely sourcing it from China, and I do not trust the purity of CP coming from there.
Can i use Ruby Reef Rally in place of Acriflavine-MS in baths? if so what is the amount I should be adding per gallon?
dropping them in the qt with CP then feeding metro to take care of Uronema as well.
Let's say that my lights(radion x30pro) were to accidentally go on for 2mins in the middle of treatment in my 30gallon that was dosed with 1.2gram of CP would this be enough time to degrade the CP?
As far as degradation, we haven't done much testing in that department. We typically do a 30 day treatment. After those 30 days we use carbon and/or water changes to rid the system of CP. None of our QT systems are running UV so I can't offer much help in that aspect unfortunately. I have also heard the possibility that it is light sensitive but we do run lights on each of the systems. the 240 gallon systems run low wattage t5, and our 750's run 400W metal halides with PC bulbs. While running the lights we notice no significant change in the CP levels.
If I can remember to do it, I will see if we can spare some CP to do a little testing with. I'll make a 10PPM solution and set it directly under light for 7-8 hours and test the level before I leave work. I'm sure in the name of science the curator will allow me to do soYou're fine. In fact, here is a quote from a public aquarium employee who posted this in the CP thread:
So, maybe the whole CP being light sensitive thing is BS.

That would be great! As not being able to use a light has always been considered a downside to using CP. Would be nice to dispel that myth.
@jsbull I'm glad this information helped you and your fish. Good luck!
