Treating Internal Parasites in a Reef Tank?

[Lord Sevein]

As the title says I am looking for a treatment for internal parasites in a reef tank. Both of my new O clownfish are showing the stringy white/clear feces typical of an internal infestation of some kind. I would very much prefer to treat them in the display tank through soaking foods. So far I have found the following products:

Medicated Foods

Geltek

Is there anything else I can use? Again I would prefer to find a solution that I could soak the fish's normal food in. I will, however use a solution similar to those found above if there is no "soaking" products available.

Thank you for any help you can give,
-Lord Sevein

The meds they use in that is metronidazole and prazi both can be bought and can be dosed with your food. Just soak your food in it. You can make like a paste out of it and put it on the food. I have done this many times.

Any suggestions on a particular source or brand of metronidazole or prazi? I was thinking of just soaking food in the geltek simply because it's cheaper. I could go ahead and get an actual solution if that would work better.

Something like this . . .
