It's been over 4 years since I got a new fish. I got a Purple tang. currently in qt. I did a fresh water dip. Nothing came off. got him in a qt right now with the lights off. since Its been a few years what meds do I need to get or should have on hand. When I firt got into the hobby I used general cure and coppersafe and ich-x. nut since then I noticed Fritz has came out with some amazing products. Think i'm going to try out the fritz products. whats recomended for fritz product?
metroclense?
Expel-f?

This is the Reef2Reef QT protocol maintained by Jay Hemdal et. al.:

I do not put a lot of stock in many of the 'meds' you've listed, and anything that claims to be "reef safe" will not be effective for fish parasites. I would stick to what Jay suggests to use in the link above

Best of luck!

Do not use paracleanse or Maracyn two- both ineffective with use in marine tanks

Coppersafe- ich and Velvet
Prazi Pro for flukes
Maracyn (original) for eye injuries
Seachem Neoplex for bacterial issues
Seachem Kanaplex for severe bacterial issues
Ruby Rally Pro for Brooklynella and light injury

I also have used general cure in the past also.

Just an FYI - only one group of flukes can be seen in dip water without a microscope, the other two groups need that in order to see them. And of course, protozoans won't show up in dips at all.

Skip the Ich-X, it's just not been shown to work in marine tanks, but it works great for FW. Same thing for Maracyn 2

Paracleanse is essentially the same as General Cure
