Would just like to have my process double checked. please let me know if i'm missing something. QT is a 20 gallon


day 1, general cure (1 packet in water column, 1 packet mixed with food and focus)
day 2, add 40 drops cupramine
day 3, 10 gal water change, add 40 drops cupramine, add 3 scoops metro into water colum and 1 into food with focus
day 4, continue to ramp up cupramine (I'm currently at this step)

day 5, continue to ramp up cupramine, 3 scoops metro in water colum, 1 scoop mixed with food and focus, 10 gal water change
day 6, ramp up cupramine
day 7, 10 gal water change, general cure (1 packet in water column, 1 packed with food and focus), ramp up cupramine
day 8-15, maintain cupramine w/ 10 gal water change every other day, begin antibiotics (furan 2, kanaplex,
day 16-35, maintain cupramine w/ 10 day water change every other day.

i've had an issue w/ ammonia which is why i'm performing 10 gal water changes every other day. if ammonia starts to get under control, then the water changes would be reduced.

Everything looks fine except I wouldn't recommend the use of antibiotics prophylactically. Use them if necessary, which it may be.

Also if you use a bottled bacteria product you should be able to establish a biofilter pretty easily and tone down the WCs. I use biospira.
