General cure in display tank?

[kevsqn]

is it possible to dose it in the dt?
I think my purple tang might have flukes.
And ive ran out of prazipro.

General cure doenst have a good rep.
Prazipro is reef safe and reviews are satisfactory when used in a reef.

General Cure contains metronidazole, which is not reef safe.

Prazipro is a much safer route for use in DT.

Metro being reef safe or not has been debated. People have dosed it before to DT, see here https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/dinoflagellates-dinos-a-possible-cure-follow-along-and-see.253917/

That said I would personally feel safer dosing prazi to the DT than GC.

I will confirm that I just loss a bunch of smooth skin sps when I dosed General Cure.. Last time I used it I had not issues but I only did one does.. this time to try and save my scribbled show male I followed the directions and did another after 48 hours... and bad luck and worse luck occurred... in summary maybe at low doses of Metro sps will be ok.. mine did not and as I write this I am losing more sps.. Wolverine, Prometheous and others to name a few... so aggravating... and the scribbled did not make it.. wasted away...
