What should i be worried about by dosing prazi pro in my reef tank. My tank is a red sea reefer 350 and i worked out it would be 22.5 ml in total for a dose

It’s the only medicine I’ve dosed into my tank. I would do at least 2 doses, about a week apart. Run your skimmer, but remove the collection cup. I had no problems, including no losses of fan worms, etc. One surprising thing to me was that my phosphates dropped to almost zero. I believe there are carbon based binders in prazipro such that you are essentially carbon dosing as well.

Cool thank you, im just worried of ammonia spikes and stuff, but i dont have many worms as far as im aware cus of my wrasses, so it should be ok. And like copepods dying as ive got a mandarin and some other difficult species

I’ve used it in my DT. No issues. I think you’ll be ok.

Thank you, ill dose it later today after ive done a water change

Prazipro can have ill effects on feather dusters, bristleworms, etc. People report that their anemones weren't the happiest during treatment as well but otherwise reef safe. If you have a ton of bristleworms just watch your water perimeters during treatment, it can cause an ammonia spike.

I’ve used it with nems and shrooms. The shrooms will close up for a day or two but no long term problems.

I’m wondering if this is also effective for marine velvet and or ich?

No it will not have any impact on velvet or ich.
