i don't think we ever get rid of these critters. I think its more about keeping them under control.

Most paracites are part of the normal flora of the guts of the fish. Also cysts can come in from your tap water and poorly sterilized foods

Decapper when treating a big tank like that lower the water level as much as you can for the duration of the treatment then you only have to use 1/2 the amount of meds or less depending on how far you can drop it.
