Yes that will be the only way to get those meds however most vets I've asked in the pass say they don't do fish
And they can't even give you a prescription? I mean, nobody asks for a diagnosis, right?

Maybe we need to send them care packages...;-)It sounds like hobbyists in Canada are kinda screwed.

I've helped some LFS clear their retail tanks (with rock/sand) of velvet using CP and this is how we did it: Start off by dosing 10 mg/L (40 mg/gal) and then subsequently dose 1 mg/L (4 mg/gal) every day thereafter. Daily redosing is ideal, but if that conflicts with your schedule then redosing 3 mg/L or 12 mg/gal every 3 days (for example) should still be adequate. CP has a wide therapeutic range (20-80 mg/gal), so the objective is to keep it within that concentration at all times. Keep redosing for 30 days.
The reason you have to keep redosing CP is because the amount of bacteria found in a typical DT environment will degrade the medication.
Because of the issue that I'm having, and after trying everything else, I've decide to treat with Chloroquine Phosphate. I've also decide to treat my whole fish only tank, which is about net water 220gals, instead of individual fish. I started on 1/7 with 14grams, which is about 60mg/gal. 3 days later I dosed about 4grams. Currently I have the lights off.
A couple of questions, should I keep the lights off? I have Leds that's aren't strong and an actinic light, as this is a fish only tank without much LR in it. Also, should I keep dosing in smaller amounts of Chloroquine Phosphate every so many days until I reach 30 days?
I've heard different things about the lights and since it wasn't a reef tank I went with them off. My friend dosed in his reef tank and left the lights on and it work, so I'll put some of them back on. Did you have any problem with ammonia? I've gotten Prime use in case.
No need to keep the lights off. Retreat with 12mg per gallon every 3 days. Some treat for 30 days, I personally treat for 21 days and have never had a issue doing it that way.
