I try to feed 3-4 meals z day.. Not too big of meals.. I feed cyclopleeze, tons of nori, spectrum pellets and other flakes.. I also feed mysis and those nutrieggs.. Once or twice a week I soak food in garlic/vit c just to entice appetite.. I do feed a lot but not a lot per feeding..

Yikes! Haha! I have had a lot of clownfish in the past and it's taking these two forever to pair up! The platinum is def mor dominant and they keep fighting.. I'm hoping they will pair up soon.. The platinum hosts to my frogspawn

I got most of my tangs from by bro in law in cali, he has good stores there.. Doni's reef for the clowns, blue tangs and solar wrasse from mutts and butts, some from people on here...
I'll get them from wherever they look good but i believe in extreme qt.. I have my last two tangs I hope in qt now.. they are eating great but im treating the big guys

Sure.. Well first thing I do is put new additions in qt.. I get them to eat first them prazipro them no matter what. I then observe them for any infections, make sure their eyes are perfect, make sure they are pooping powder. If they poop anything stringy or hard I keep them in their till they poop "better"... For tangs I usually go a step further and hypo salinity them...
My new dussi has a few visible flat/fluke worms.. It's disgusting... At first I though it was bacterial but these thing are moving.. He is eating like a pig but I'll start first dose of prazipro tonight or in the am. I just changed the water in the qt again.. I usually watch a fish for two months then he's good to go.. You can't prevent everything but I think your percentages are better if you qt everything that goes in your tank.. I can't count the number of times I got new coral them bam! Two weeks later flatworm or some weird algae, pyramid snail etc.. And this is w using coral rx and revive before each addition..

I did qt my clowns too, but just to get them big enough to enter the dt.. Did not medicate them

Any tips for a new user of prazipro?

Yes definitely.. Start off w a water change, then the next day or a few hrs later dose the recommended amount ( I weight it on a digital scale but that isn't necessary..)
I then dose the proper amount let it stay 5 days, then do another water change along with carbon for a day, then take carbon out and dose same way again..
What I never understood is that they recommend a certain dosage but what if you are dosing a 40 gallon tank w small fish vs a 40 g tank w 8 inch fish.. I hope I am able to rid the flukes from my dussi, I'll probably prazipro him at least 3 times
