Hi

I want to treat my discus tank with Big L but have few question's first if you guys can give your advice will be greatly appreciated.

1- What is the dosage rate?
2- How long till I need to do a water change & how big of a water change should i do after added Big L to my tank?
3- When should I repeat the treatment or is this just a 1 time treatment?

Thank you

read the stickies or do a search for worming, my routine is
week 1 big L
week 2 prazi
week 3 prazi
week 4 big L
week 6 big L

the 3 week gap is a little bigger then i like but it seems ok. either way you'll have to retreat every 12 months or so.
