My Current QT Process

[Kasey Grohowski]

@HotRocks
So your entire QT process would be for 42 days then? Assuming you feed GC soaked foods for 14 days correct? Also can I add GC to my food mix and freeze, or would that render the GC useless?

Are you using a single tank or transferring after 14 days of therapeutic copper or CP?

Transferring.

I just added to previous post again, sorry.

Those that use copper power, have you had to continue dosing after reaching therapeutic levels in order to maintain those levels? With cupramine I had to dose almost daily to maintain. Now with copper power I haven’t had to and it’s been over a week since hitting therapeutic.

@HotRocks can the medicated food be frozen?

You can refreeze the food after preparing it to be used later yes.

Where do you buy your medications? I struggle to find them readily available.

You can probably find all of them on amazon.

API general cure powder was discussed, I can only find it in packets. Would like it in bulk

What are you looking for that you can't find?

Local fish stores & amazon. I only see the packets.

Which medication are you trying to find? I have to order almost everything online. Some of the meds come from the actual manufacturer.

I am looking for metroplex & focus & api general cure in more bulk than the tiny containers. I am just starting out as my clowns are having issues so I don't know if those small packages have enough medication.

A pack of API General Cure comes with like 10 packets. Each packet should last awhile for just a couple clowns.

This is helpful! Thank you. If y'all can take a look at my clown thread! I am at a loss

If you are using a small 10g QT the packets will give you enough doses for a couple rounds of QT dosing the water and there is plenty for adding to food.
If you are just treating food the focus is plenty for several batches of QT I have never bought focus in bulk.

Thank you!

I am nervous and overwhelmed with starting out this process as I don't wanna mix medications that my fish will just die. I have read just about every sticky on this thread so I think I am ready to try.

I will be trying to mix metroplex & focus to begin on my clowns and than do a water change after a week and administer general cure. Can I be using cupramine the entire time?

I quit using metroplex, the potency is fairly diluted. I starting using pharmaceutical grade metronidazole from Fishman. It is MUCH more effective. They only sell it in bulk though and for a hobbyist treating a few fish here or there it may not make sense to purchase.

Yeah I won't be purchasing that! I would be burying that with me in my grave. Metroplex it is for now.
