Stocking medicines. Which ones?

[Rognin]

So I'm going to be starting up my quarantine and DT sometime in January. I'm looking at medicines I'd like to stock to be sure tohave them on hand should something happen during quarantine. I've lost fish on a sunday when the LFS was closed, and I want to have dry medicines I can keep for extended periods of time (1 year).

I've selected Selcon as the additive to the PE mysis I will be feeding as well as dry flaked spirula (Fluval vegetarian) and regular flaked food (Fluval Tropical).

As for medicines, I was looking at getting Clout and some Ampicillin and Amoxicillin

Are there better broad range products I could use? If so what? and why?

Thank You!

Marine Fish Medicine Cabinet

* Copper, ideally cupramine - for ich and other external parasites plus the Seachem test kit for copper; note well, I personally prefer tank transfer for ich as it is most effective
* Chloroquine phosphate for treatment of velvet (pure form)
* Praziquantel - for flukes and worms
* nitrofurazone - for open wounds or sores
* Metronidazole - for intestinal and other protozoa
* Formalin - for brook, uronema and other external parasites
* Erythromycin and Minocycline - for bacterial prevention/treatment
* kanamycin an anti-bacterial med that is very effective and gentle on fish.

* Food enhancers such as Selcon, Vitality, but not garlic as it is bad long term for fish

I've had reef tanks for years and NEVER have meds on hand.

My sister will be taking care of the tank for 28 days at a time. I want her to have the required medication on hand if something happens. Hence the listing.

This is what I checked out with. Like I said, the formalin was 90CAD, so I'll have to hold off on a clownfish purchase until I can find an affordable format.
