Nitrofurazone treatment

[TK_KW]

Using product in image for bacterial, is my dose the same as recommended on the package?

Second, is treatment time frame 5 days? And I imagine it can not be ran with copper power?

While the recommended dosage for disease is a 1/4 teaspoon per 30 gallons every 24 hours, im not a fan of its use other than for use as a dip/disinfectant and for ulcers at a lower dosage

Understood. I'm just trying to find a proper Nitro for treatment. Canada is heavily restricted.

I currently have A.P.I E.M and A.P.I Furan-2 on hand

Furan 2 would be a better choice

What exactly are you trying to treat? (i.e. why do you think you have a bacterial issue). Between your 2 choices I would also use the Furan 2 - per instructions - depending on what you're trying to treat

I cant tell if bacterial or just being beat up? All other fish in qt look fine (14 total).

I have furan-2, but not enough for a treatment. On hand I have two boxes of API EM, and General Cure. That's all I have unfortunately.

Did a quick google search and I have no access to Furan-2

This is bacterial and I realize meds tough to gt in Canada. While I dont find it effective, next best you have on hand would be API EM. Furan too has been most difficult or impossible to find the last 2-3 years and I was surprised you had some.
I believe you can get Ruby rally pro which would work slow but well and is reef safe.
Check with Pets drug Mart in Ontario to see what they can acquire for you also

Furan 2 is available on the internet - though I don't know whether it will go to Canada. Certainly a bacterial infection. I would treat in a hospital tank. and a broad spectrum antibiotic. In any case it looks like a significant infection

Send me a link to Furan-2 please

Nitro is a good antibiotic for gram positive and negative bacteria. So it covers most infections. Thanks

I managed to get Furan 2. Can I treat Furan 2 at the same time as Copper Power?

Or run complete bacterial first. Then ramp up copper? Ich is present too. Shocker

I would not. I do not favor the risk of mixing anything with copper
