Prophylactic QT

[DawghuntR]

Hi All,

Trying to get my head around my QT Plan.

I intend on treating with Cupramine for 30 days. (I have this process under control)

Then I plan on treating with PraziPro and Metro for 10days.

This is the plan I have found on this forum;

Day1 - Metro and PraziPro
Day3 - Metro
Day5 - Metro
Day7 - Metro and PraziPro
Day9 - Metro
Day10 - Finish!

The problem I have is in Australia you cant purchase metro products for pets so I have sourced some Metro tablets (Flagyl) 400mg tablets

Is the metro dose 25mg/gal so for my 75gal qt tank so around 500mg per dose?

Anyone used these tablets and can confirm this dose?

Cheers

Hope this helps

Metronidazole (Flagyl)


What It Treats – Internal parasites (flagellates), Brooklynella, Uronema marinum.

How To Treat – Metro can be found as a stand-alone drug (e.g. Seachem MetroPlex, Hikari Metro+) or incorporated into a multi-purpose medication (e.g. API General Cure). When using 100% metronidazole powder, I dose 500 mg for every 20-40 gallons (80-160 liters). I typically start on the low end (500 mg per 40 gals), and then ramp it up to 500 mg per 20 gals by the 3rd or 4th dose. For brook & uronema, dose directly into a quarantine tank every 48 hours for 10-14 days. For intestinal worms, it is best to soak metro in the fish’s food. Use Seachem Focus to bind it to the food, and feed daily for up to 3 weeks or until symptoms (white stringy poop) disappear. My formula for food soaking metro (and prazi) can be found below:
