Planning ahead…

[vittpsu21]

As the title states, I am getting close to putting fish in my tank, and although I am purchasing quarantined fish for the first batch(my sponge filter for my 40 qt tank won’t be ready in time and I don’t want to do a million water changes).

My plan for the 40QT and all fish going in after is going to be to follow Jays guide posted on the forums. All that being said, as life has taught us, **** always happens, so my question is…what meds would you keep on hand? I don’t want to get into a situation where I need something that is common and I don’t have it on hand. Assuming it’s reasonable!

For QT I already purchased copper power and prazi pro! Thanks in advance!

Copper power and Prazipro handle the majority of parasitic diseases. They don’t treat Brooklynella well though. You should have a Hanna hr copper checker.
