It may kill any worms or featherdusters u have in there.

Also could get expensive to dose a big tank.

 

[castroantonio]

yes, but is better do it, that try to get out a fish..
thank you

Prazi will kill inverts... I'd recommend getting the fish out to treat them. Depending on why you're treating with Prazi, I'd also leave your reef fishless for 4-6 weeks...

what do you think about metronidazole in a reef?

 

[jmadison]

What are you fighting?

 

[castroantonio]

I dont know the fish is scratching, but he doesn´t anything.. maybe flukes. or something like that..

Fish can scratch for many reasons, flukes or ich just to name a couple and they are treated differently. Need to properly diagnose to know what is appropriate treatment and none are really suitable in the main tank.

+1 if you dont properly diagnose what your fighting you will never win the fight!!!
do you have any pic's or a discription of what it is or is the only sign scratching, have you tested your water i know when nitrates get up over 100ppm i have seen fish do this, and what kind of fish are we dealing with

the fish is a Sohal tang, he was in a cupramine for 3 weeks. and he´s still scratching. he doesnt have ich, Im sure.
Im think could be flukes, he looks very clean.
no3 is 2.5ppm.
