Ragal angel treatment

I have had a juvi Regal angel for about a week now. Before introduced to my reeftank i FW dipped it for 5 minutes. Didn't see any flukes come off. About three-four days ago I saw flukes on one side of the fish and covering one eye. also I am suspecting that it suffers from internal parasites as its belly is all swollen. It has been eating NLS pellets up until two days ago. Therefore I decided to take out most of my corals and put them into a separate bucket while treating the tank. I read a lot about treating Flukes and internal parasites with Prazipro, however this cannot be purchased in Europe, so I went for Sera Tremazol in stead which should be simmilar?
See product details here: http://sera.de/fileadmin/gbi/sera_tremazol_36.05_int.pdf

I treated the tank with 19 ml of Tremazol yesterday. My tank is app 290 l (76 gallons) + app 10 gallons of sump. The fishes and remaining corals, which I couldn't remove seems to be fine. also a shrimp and my large BTA, which I couldn't remove either is doing fine.
However, my regal still seems to have flukes on it's one eye. Have read that a treatment with Prazipro takes about 5-7 days. how long do you think I should I should leave the medicine in the tank before turning on the skimmer and my carbon/rowa filter again and performing water changes?

hope you can help?
 
i would say at least 7 days. another note with flukes, there are internal types that show in the eye, so i'd recommend soaking the food in the medication that will help it get into the fish's system and take out internal parasites.
 
Okay. should I dose additional Tremazol over the next 5 days or just maintain things as hey are, with the current medic level in the tank?? Also, would that mean no skimmer for the next five days??
 
it would mean no skimmer. i'm not sure on the dosing, whether you do it every day or not, does the bottle specify?
