Hey guys, I know there are already posts out there about which meds are important to keep on hand but since I'm over here on the other side of the world I only have access to a few and they're very expensive so I'm trying to decide between which I should buy considering the premium price I have to pay by buying from Amazon (shipping and import fees are pretty pricey)...I'm in a fallow period right now because of velvet and have never been a big fan of using meds (I've always preferred to rely on natural immunity by feeding natural foods and having a tank with high biodiversity from wild live rock) but since I have a little money to spend right now and I love the hobby, I'll invest...

What I have easy and affordable access to right now:
-Cupramine
-Seachem Paraguard
-Formalin
-Praziquental POWDER (not prazipro)
-Seachem Prime

After getting these locally, which others do I really need to add to my arsenal? I know that ideally I'd have a treatment for every disease and parasite along with a backup but I really don't have a lot of knowledge on the differences between meds like Metroplex and Kanaplex which I've read up about but still am not sure which to buy for a minimum 2x the normal price...

Copper power or copper safe
Metroplex or General cure

Furan 2 or Cipro if you can find it.

Should I get the copper power or copper safe even though I already have cupramine?
 
KanaPlex is under-dosed (over 20X) to the point of uselessness. People on the freshwater forums keep recommending it and it rarely ever works.
