Blotched anthias QT protocol

[Dead2Me]

What is the recommended QT protocol for blotched anthias? It’s my understanding that tolerate CopperPower and prazipro. What about metroplex?

Do not use metro unless absolutely necessary and has to be used by weight and makes food taste bitter
Coppersafe at 2.15-2.25 ppm is safe to use and prazi also. As they are susceptible to uronema.... I generally give mine Ruby rally pro bath for 60 minutes with aeration and assure specific gravity does not fall low and no excess debris in tank.
