Honestly, I've done more harm putting them in a new treatment tank. The queen and wrasse are moments away from dead, the naso probably won't see morning. A clown is looking bad. The leopard wrasse seems fine, as do the 2 chromis and the mandarin. Yellow tang seems normal, hippo tang is dusted up pretty bad, but still swimming.

I just need to know the dosage using tabs, but at this point, I'm going to guess and just add 20mg/l of the tabs. I can't do any more harm than I've done already :(

doesn't it say on the box? It usually has to state the amount of "active ingredient". Then you can base it on the weight of the tablet and dose that way??

It's in tablet form. Each 250mg has 155mg active Chloroquine, but I think I need to dose mg/l based on compound weight, not active ingredient. All articles are for the salt, which doesn't account for filler. So it would still be close I guess, but I've sent a note to a compounding pharm to see if they have powdered. If not, I'll get the tabs tomorrow, which will of course be too late..

He won't have it, it's from the pharmacy. I need a prescription to get it

Ohh, ok I thought this was the stuff you got from Japarto originally.
