I agree, and I think I mention this point above.

The discalimer to all of this (also stated above) is that I removed 3 oversized fish (a 7" naso, a 7" foxface and a 4" copperband), as well as added a ton of flow immediatly following treatment. I can't emphasize enough that the medicine was only one part of a combination of efforts to rid myself of RS and may not work for everyone.

This combined with running a large skimmer, GAC and phosban and all of my levels are in check.

I think that chemical treatment should be a last resort. Like, right before you rip the tank down and start over.

Cheers,
