Hi there,
I just started a hybrid ttm on 2 tangs and 2 chromis and due to the timing of getting this fish in quarentine i made the first transfer at 36 hours for 3 of them but the other had been in for around 39-40 hours before being transfered.
Is this going to be ok going foreward or should i plan on adding one more 36 hour transfer before starting the 72 hour ones? @Humblefish ?
Everyone is getting along great and eating everything they are offered on a pisitive note!

I use Humble Fish TTM but with a somewhat different process and add both H2O2 and Prazipro per the following recipe:

I agree with @Arabyps - for TTM to truly work, you also need to manage for flukes with Prazipro. I'm a bit leery of peroxide, but it does have efficacy for removing velvet, which TTM doesn't always do very well....it works better on ich.
