Qt treatment plan...how is this?

[The Saltman]

Hi guys,

Here is my plan for qt of all new fish arrivals.

---Hyposalinity
---Prazipro - Flukes and internal parasites
---Maracyn II - Bacterial infections

Any other suggestions or better products to use?

Those would be done sequentially? I'm not a big fan of hypo - watch for concurrent Uronema outbreaks, and I would not go below a specific gravity of 1.010 - and probably don't use it on green chromis or anthias. I wouldn't bother with the Maracyn II at all - unless there is a positiviely diagnosed bacterial disease. Here is a synopsis of my current quarantine protocol:

1) Chelated copper for at least six weeks, measured with a spectrophotometer
2) Praziquantel at 2ppm for 48 hours, change water, redose in 14 days. Can be concurrent with above.
