So I have both metro and prazi in my kit. I wasn't able to get API GC which I can find dosing schedules and info on while using metro. Is there a way to run the GC + metro schedule but utilize metroplex and prazi? I understand that GC has both meds in it, but I was wondering what the hive mind had to say on dosing.
Thanks everyone!
 
The dose of prazi in GC is a bit lower yet gets the job done. So you can adjust the dosage of PraziPro to match GC if desired. It's a bit easier on the fish.

Thanks Big G!
So anything in the 2-2.5mg/l should be safe right? Then just dose metro in between the metro+prazi every 5-7 days, correct?
 
Yep! Just keep in mind that the liquid version of praziquantel - Prazipro - contains Oxybispropanol. It helps keep the praziquantel in solution. But it also uses some of the O2 in the tank. So a powerhead aimed up at the surface, rapidly rippling the water's surface will help offset the loss of O2 in the tank. Usually run a foam bubble filter as well.

I have a hob 50 filter and two air stones going. 10 gallon with a Molly and two small clowns. Tank isn't full so the water tumbles out of the filter. Is a power head still needed?
