Regal Christmas!

Can you do prazi and copper at the same time? Since it may not be as effective due to my rock. Which I am slowly replacing with PVC hiding spots I just dont wanna make any sudden bio changes. One piece of rock per week

Are you using a separate hang-on filter for biofiltration or just the rock? I agree with making sure to maintain your biofilter while removing the rock, although you can manage ammonia with water changes as you remove the rock.
 
In your situation, I would do a water change to remove a lot of the Coppersafe. 50% would be good if you can. Let your fresh saltwater set up for an hour or two with a powerhead or airstone to mix it, make sure to match salinity and temperature, and then do the water change.

Once the water change is done, I would treat with PraziPro. Find some Cuprasorb to remove the rest of the copper (that isn't bound to the rock).

You can have this done by dinnertime today if you don't have other commitments. Otherwise, do it this evening. I wouldn't wait as the flukes can kill (suffocate) your fish pretty quickly.

If you are using a hang-on filter on your qt, put a new sponge and new filter media in your dt sump (or dt). These will seed with bacteria in a couple of days. Move them to your qt's hang-on filter after 3 days.

After 4 days from the PraziPro treatment, do a 50% water change to remove dead flukes. If there are any more visible flukes, do another PraziPro treatment.

If there are no visible signs of flukes, remove the rest of the rock over another couple of days. Test your water daily for ammonia and do a 50% water change if there is any sign of ammonia.

This will put you at the middle to the end of next week. At this point, your biofilter should be established in the qt (sponge and filter material) and you will have no rock (or sand). Start your treatment with Cupramine and run it for 4 weeks. Ramp the dose up more slowly than the directions on the bottle say (as noted above). I don't go all the way to .5 and generally only dose to .4 unless I see parasites (velvet or ich).

Some fish stop eating in any copper solution, so feed sparingly until you are sure the fish is eating normally.

After 2-3 weeks in Cupramine, you can do another PraziPro treatment. Again, watch for some suppression in the fish's appetite.

These types of posts will get more comments in the fish disease forum as there are more people cruising that forum looking to help on treatment matters.

Good luck.
 
Thanks for the advice i am grabbing some Prazi today and will be dosing around 5pm. He is still active and eating but they are in his gills for sure. I started a thread in the disease treatment section and someone posted they have used coppersafe and prazi at the same time. A water change is still gonna be done to be on the safe side.
 
Prazi is in the tank! I am very pleased to say he is becoming more active as each day passes and his appetite is picking up as well. With every day he eats more and more, I think a short video will be coming soon! Updated pics after dinner if you will excuse the ugly tank since it is after all just a QT/hospital. Side note anyone have any idea why my Starry Blenny is extremely shy. I thought they were not a shy fish I mean the only other fish are two baby clowns.

No idea why my tapatalk pics dont come up sometimes but work othrr times i always do it the same way. Havent seen any scraping since the Prazi went in and he is out and about early this morning. The one eye is still clody but it doesnt look like there are any more flukes on it so lets hope it heals up.
