my fox face has still been having stringy poop, while no other fish has been observed with stringy poop. I've been medicating my LRS nano reef frenzy with API General Cure, and using sechem focus as a binding agent. I've also mixed in some NLS pellets as well.

I'm a few days shy of 2 weeks and still seeing stringy poop not sure if parasites or something else.

it's poop isn't always stringy, I also feed 1/2 sheet of nori a day (not medicated)

I've included a few pictures.

is it possible I haven't been dosing enough? should I continue dosing or try something else?

I've gone through 3 packets in the 2 weeks.

thanks, for your help.
 
Sometimes it can take up to 21 days to eliminate intestinal worms/parasites.

Using the focus scoop Ratio should be 1 measure of Each GC/Focus per 1 Tablespoon of prepared food.
 
so what's a measure of GC? I honestly have no idea on the dosage I read from @Humblefish to just sprinkle a bit in the food, I feed less than a tablespoon , how much water should I be mixing with the food and focus?

so continue dosing? is that white stringy poop for sure parasites still?

You may want to up the dosage. Using the Focus scoop, add 2 scoops of GC per 1 tablespoon of frozen or pellets. On rare occasion, I've had to resort to using fenbendazole to eliminate stubborn intestinal worms.
