General Cure Dosing Question

[LAReefer4Life]

I am dosing GC 2 x 6 days apart with 25% water change between. My question is, can I do a 50% water changer between the 2 doses (making it 3 doses in total) to keep my water quality high and ammonia in check? This s a new QT, it has only been running for a couple weeks.

Thank you!

Sure - a larger water change is fine. The prazi in the GC will have broken down by then anyway, I’m not sure if the metronidazole does or not.
I prefer dosing about 8 to 10 days apart to better break the life cycle of any egg laying flukes though.

Thanks, so to confirm @Jay Hemdal. 1st dose was completed on the 14th, conduct a 50% water change today, the 18th with the 2nd dose, 3rd and final dose with a 25% water on the 24th. All good?

A lot of this is just guessing on timelines, but I don’t see any toxicity issues here.
