Gday,

Just a few questions before I dose my tank with Aqua Master Fluke & Tapeworm tabs.

Do you dose full strength or half strength and do you leave the lights on. I have turned my UVS off also. Lastly, does it affect corys?

Leaving the tank lights on does not matter.

I would remove the corys just incase - sometimes they have adverse reactions.

Turn the UV off.

Dose at required level (i think its like 1 tablet for 20L or something)

Thanks G-1000,

I forgot a question. When I clean the filters after 48 hrs do I have to replace the filter wool?

No worries, you are welcome

When you clean the filter at 48 hours, you are doing so to remove little eggs and cysts which may have been caught in the filter.

Thus, you need to clean the entire filter out (in water from tank obviously) and then replace the filter wool to ensure the majority of the cysts are removed.
