Oodinium Treatment

I currently have my remaining fish in a seperate 50 gallon plastic container, having lost a round 10 fish to what I believe to be Oodinium. I have been treating with Cuprazin as directed on the bottle, and so far lost a Coral beauty that didn't appear to be affected and also a medium sized Yellow Tang that appeared to be healthy also. Having read the article on UR about this pathogen it suggests that Copper is not effective.



Reading further down the article it mentions ACREFLAVIN. There is a similar product on the market called ACRIFLAVIN which is used for the treatment of Koi. Is this the same stuff does anyone know. I have 3 questions.



1. How do I know after treating with Cuprazin after 10 days that I have "nuked" the Oodinium



2 If this hasn't worked, how do I get hold of the ACREFLAVIN, and does this work ?



3 Would I have to eliminate all traces of Copper before I treat with ACRIFLAVIN ?
