API- General Cure with Seachem Focus, anyone tried?

[nanomania]

Since praziquantle is safe for inverts, and metro can be mixed with focus and fed to fishes, its is possible to make a recipe of focus and general cure as its has prazi and metro with some pellets and garlic juice? Has anyone ever tried it before?? Would it be safe?

I've done it before. It's a good idea actually (because it contains both metro & prazi), and using Focus makes it reef safe.

Just follow these same directions: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/metronidazole.298762/#post-3655831

Use 1 scoop of GC as the medication of choice.

Got it, but some questions,



How to store it once the sachet is open?

I use fresh garlic juice, which is oily and sticky.

Do u know what exactly is focus made of?

Kool. The fresh garlic juice is fine right?

Also i store mysis and lobster eggs mixed with garlic juice and reef plus. Is it ok to directly add one scoop of GC and Focus to it and store it?

Do refrigerate them or freeze?

I suppose it's OK to increase palatability, although Focus already does that.

I refrigerate so long as I know I'll use it up within 2-3 days; otherwise I freeze any leftovers.

Thank you... just waiting for gc to come, as it was suppose to arrive today, but it didnt... :( however the fire goby is still rubbing gills on sand sometimes, but looks healthy as its eating well, both pellets and frozen.

Can furan2 also be given the same way with focus?

I was researching on Enteric redmouth disease, thry says its not common in aquariums, but lowering the temperature does help. My current temp is 28c, but thts howbits been for many years.
I wish i cud send u my fish for study purpose.

yes it can

 

[nanomania]

yes it can

Thank you..[emoji4] will try both furan and gc individually. Hopefully the fishes get rid of their red mouth and rubbing. However both are eating well and look pretty healthy

Focus active ingredient is "nitrofurantoine" is it same as nitrofurazone (furan2)

Finally made GC with focus, thera a /hikari marine s pellets and garlic guard.

But i saw GC settling at the bottom.

I also made using frozen lobster eggs, but its was toomuch of liquid, however iv stored it though to feed.

Will start feeding tomorow.

Just a question, what size "scoop"? What is the amount of food to scoop? Is that a 1:1 ratio as well? Thanks!
