    Cupramine and Prazipro

    My fish just completed a 30 day long treatment of Cupramine at 0.5ppm last week. I have added Cuprisorb and Carbon in the tank to try to absorb as much copper as possible. I have also been doing more frequent water changes. The quarantine tank is 150 gallons so I am not able to do an extremely...

    BRS is contradicting themselves on Prazipro

    Hello, I have a new royal gramma that has successfully finished a Copper Power quarantine. I am now ready to dose Prazipro, except I keep finding conflicting information. This is only my third fish, and the first time I am trying to quarantine myself. My clown pair was pre-treated from Dr...

    EMERGENCY Brown flukes? Black ich?

    I have given my hippo tang a few freshwater baths in the last 2 wks. White flukes don’t come off - maybe some look white but then it’s all brown stuff. He pooped in the water ‍‍- so large chunks are poop. Thoughts? My next step is the quarantine - I’ve done PraziPro in the tank already. Copper...

    Which of these should be removed during Prazi-Pro?

    Last time I did prazi-pro during QT for my magnificent foxface, I think I may have went about it wrong. Just looking for solid clarification of items from my 60 breeder QT tank need to be removed during prazi or can stay. Last time I removed EVERYTHING from my hob filter and let dosed the prazi...

    Sorry title is odd - couldn’t figure out how to word it. I am in day 3 of PraziPro treatment for flukes. My fish are way more active than usual racing around the tank. Blue hippo tang - now has minimal rock scratching. Only scratching I’ve noticed that is new is black clownfish. The tiger...

    EMERGENCY Anyone have experience with Prazipro in display?

    Anyone have experience with prazipro in a mature reef tank? I have gill flukes and trying to weigh the possible consequences on corals and other inverts. Obviously have to take out the feather duster. Anything else?

    Media balls from sump in observation?

    Hello, I just wrapped up 14 days of QT for my mystery wrasse. I ran 1.65 copper power for 14 days, and never once noticed anything wrong, except for some twitching of the head. I suspect flukes. No flashing, no spots, eats like a champ, very open swimmer. I just transferred it to a brand new...

    Copper with no sign of ich??

    I have a baby blue tang 2” and a tomini tang 3” that’s currently being treated with prazi in my QT. They have no signs of ich and it’s been 2 weeks. Should I dose copper to be safe ? Or should I just observe for the next 2 weeks?

    White spots on Tomini Tang

    I've got a very shy Tomini Tang who is hard to get to hold still long enough to take pictures of but hopefully these are good enough. On the fish's left side near its dorsal fin are a couple of white spots. Could someone help me to determine what this might be and if what I'm doing is...

    Blenny flashing. Prazi not working?

    Hi y’all. I’ve had this bicolor blenny for well over a month and about two weeks ago I noticed him coming down from his rock and kicking up sand in the same exact spot every single time. Note i’ve never seen him flash on the rocks. It almost seems as if he’s just kicking up sand with his tail...

    Clownfish Scratching Question...

    Hello! I recently had an ich outbreak in my DT. When that happened, I setup a QT tank, and treated the fish in Copper Power for 30 days (2.0 - 2.5 concentration), and PraziPro for 10 days. Then, while my DT tank continues to be fallow, I put the clownfish into a sterile larger tank with PVC...

    Copper Power and Prazipro

    Hi Everyone, I currently have my fish in QT, in Copper Power at 2.38ppm. They have been at a 1.5ppm or higher since 9/14, and on 9/21 due to me having now idea how to QT a fish (this is literally the first time I've ever done this), I lowered the PPM to 1.19. It was about 6 hours at this level...

    I really think I’m at the 2 week mark of female clownfish not eating. ☹️ she’s still swimming around close to anemone. 4 days ago I dosed DT with prazipro. I have a 220 gal tank. All other fish and corals are doing great. Took water sample to fish store yesterday and all parameters look good...

    Worms that survived copper and prazi?

    Hi everyone, I’m having trouble with a fluke like worm that has survived 30 days of cupramine at 0.5 as well as 3 weeks of prazi at double the dose every 4 days, as the first go round didn’t eliminate them. I removed all medicine 3 days ago and saw them flashing again today. Did a freshwater...

    Royal gramma died of unknown cause

    Hello all! It’s a sad morning for me as I woke up to my first fish casualty. My hopes for this post is to get any advice as to what may have happened so that I can prevent it in the future. It’s a bit of a long story but I’ll try to be concise. My royal gramma was the first fish in my tank...

    EMERGENCY Does this wrasse look like he died from Prazipro complications, bacterial infection, or velvet?

    This fairy wrasse died in the DT today. I did round two of prazi for suspected flukes two days ago. Prazipro seemed to coincide with a strong shift in fish behavior. I put carbon back online this morning. A number of fish that were especially skittish are now back out and nibbling. All of the...

    DT Prazipro Adverse Reaction?

    I dosed round 2 of Prazipro last night. Directions say 1tsp (5mL) per 20 gallons of water. Total water volume is 75G, so I dosed just a touch more than recommended by adding 20mL. Woke up today and dosed vinegar without thinking. Pretty much all of the fish are hiding and panting now, save for...
