I thought acriflavin was an antibiotic. Not your fault, but man this is frustrating!

I get off at 4 and will be heading directly over there. I am assuming I should discard the water in the tank now? Will not be an issue because I use water from my system so DT and QT params are identical at all times.
BTW, thanks for helping.
on a side note, I have family in Houston and you kinda look like Bill Goldberg LOL.

Can you respond to the quote above. I caused you to miss it with the Goldberg comment.
Here is the directions from Fosters. Does not differenciate between fresh and salt.
Active ingredients per packet: 664 mg Sodium Sulfathiazole, 168 mg Sodium Sulfamethazine, and 168 mg Sodium Sulfacetamide per packet.
Directions for use
For best results, remove activated carbon or filter cartridge from filter and continue aeration. For each 10 gallons of water, empty one packet directly into aquarium. Repeat dose after 24 hours. Wait another 24 hours then change 25% of the aquarium water. Repeat this treatment for a second time, for a total of 4 doses. Then, make a final 25% water change and add fresh activated carbon or replace filter cartridge. Treatment may be repeated if necessary.
Cool, now understand that you're going to have to do regular (at least every other day) partials to keep the water straight, and add back the meds you take out with the water changes. So buy as much as you can because you're prob going to use alot of it.

That will not be a problem. My water is medicated with fungus cure. Should I discard the medicated water? It should not shock the fish because temp, salinity, and PH are all identical from DT to QT
Thanks a lot. I am due for my water change today (I have already been doing them every other day) So I will do the change, then put the Triple Sulfa in. Hope this works out. So far this fish seems pretty tough for a Regal. They usually go down fairly quick, IME. Of course my experence has always been starvation or swim blatter issues with these fish.
He is still eating well. I have a Koralia 1 in a 20 long for circulation. I can add a maxijet 1200 if you think it will help.
It is likely. Based off what I have read, Lymphocystis is not a killer. But the secondary infections that come with it can be. In that case, DJREEF's suggestion could have me covered.
Well, you don't want the tank looking like a toilet flushing, but there should b enough diffuse flow to keep things moving. O2 levels drop when meds are introduced to the system, in most cases. I'd say add it. If it looks like he's having a hard time navigating, or if the temp jumps too much, then pull it back out.

Well first dose of sulfa is in. Still eating. Fins look worse, like they are rotting away.
So you think it is too late?
