I would as it will weaken the glycol in the prazi and restore to sump after treatment. The treatment should be as follows in case bottle instructions not clear:
dose at 85% of recommended and apply initial dosage known as an interval for 8 days, do a water change and do one more 8 day dose interval
Use airstone with prazi as it does reduce both oxygen and appetite

If you don't remove any possible absorbent/adsorbant - you can't tell the dose. Remove IMHO

the powder does not dissolve easily and I therefore have resorted to the liquid version. Some use alcohol as an agent for dissolving the powder more easily. I believe they treat the same way

Do you mean Chemi Pure Blue? If so, yes, you need to remove it before treating with praziquantel. You can return it 36 hours after treatment.
