Paraguard
 

Does anyone know how long it takes Paraguard to become inert? I'm done my Paraguard treatment, and I really don't want to run carbon before running PraziPro.

Do you have a skimmer on this tank ?

Nope. I've just got a canister filter full of Matrix and some floss on the tank. The canister filter is a huge pain to get primed, so I really don't want to take it off to put carbon in it.

Paraguard is pretty similar to Ich-X. I know that Ich-X and PraziPro can be used together at the same time. I think it should be okay to use Paraguard and PraziPro at the same time, but I'd like the Paraguard to dissipate at least a little bit first.

Honestly, having done one week of PraziPro, followed by four weeks of Paraguard, I don't even know if another week or two of PraziPro is even necessary.

I'm anxious to get my fish bank in the display so they can tackle the overwhelming population of pods in the display. I'm getting so sick of looking at them.

24 hours is all it takes, that's why we must redose every 24 hours.

Put some carbon to be safe if you wish, and remove it before the prazi treatment.

Looks like you're bang-on, Daniella. :)

I was finally able to find an answer from Seachem with regards to how long Paraguard is active.
