What issue are you trying to treat?

Rally Pro can be used two ways: as an in tank treatment, dosed daily for three days, or as a higher dose dip.

If you are dosing it daily, just perform the water changes as needed, and then re-dose the daily dose after the water change.

Utilize test kits to determine need for water changes and as Jay mentioned, add ruby to water and every 3 days
You’ll get a temporary green tint to water

Had a velvet breakout. Got a tang from a lfs that gave me the lesson of QT. Had a few tangs that passed and angel, and a three smaller clowns. Saved 11 clowns and they are doing good now. So QT it was and running the two DT’s fallow for two months at least. I got away with no disease for a long time! Eventually it catches up as we know.

So formalin dipped for 30 min, then I put them in clean QT, two separate tanks that is. Three days after the whole crazy mess, I dipped them again in fresh only this time. Now they are looking good. And eating. But I started running Ruby as a in tank QT, not a dip.

What I see now are spots from velvet that is left over. I’m not wanting to see them get infected. It’s why I started Ruby, to keep a low concentration of meds going in the tank. But also keep parasites from showing up again.


Yea it’s been chaos for a bit over a week.
