24 hour update - I am super impressed with how fast the Prazipro has worked. Last night after feeding everyone, I checked in to see how they were doing. First, all ate extremely well. When I went to check, my sailfin was having her evening bowel movement. I was absolutely horrified by what I saw. The poor thing was pooping worms only. Was kind of hoping that it was just one big long one, but appeared to be many 1/2" ones. Then, watched as the others thought, yum, food. Thankfully they spit them back out. Fed and checked on everyone this morning and again everyone is eating lots. I have not seen the other 2 poop and I am not sure the anthia will make it. She is eating only the smallest bits and then hides.

I can only imagine how horrible they have felt with these nasty things.

Thanks Ross!

All is good today. I bought new era pellets and the fish really don't seem to care for them, bought some Pacifica plankton, but forgot it in the work freezer. Have some cyano showing up as I've had the skimmer off since dosing and kept the filter socks off. I need to do a water change, but wondering if is hold wait until I'm done treating?

Either wait until the dosing is done before WC
Or just dose the proper amount to the new water before you add to tank

Update, I completed a water change on Nov 11 and redosed the amount for 25 gls. I completed the second dose of Prazipro last Wednesday evening. There are no further signs of worms in the fish, but I did lose my one anthia. The wrasse and sailfin seem to be fine and I keep hoping I will stop seeing the sailfin's ribs every time I look at her. Tonight is day 5 of the second treatment, I plan on doing another water change this week and get the skimmer back up and running. I've had my dual reactor offline for a few months now, but would like to get carbon running again to clear up the water.

So I'm sitting here watching my fish and it looks like my yellow tang has worms coming out his back end now. Wth?? Should I dose the tank again? Last dose was 2 weeks ago.
