I've recently had to treat my DT for flukes (13 out of 15 fish affected). The fish have done well and all are asymptomatic now. My skimmer, GFO and carbon reactors have been off line since 12/28. Parameters are still good. Nitrate 0, PO4 0.04 (up a little from 0.02 it usually runs).

I tried to turn my skimmer back on this morning but it overflowed like a banshee. For those that have treated with Prazi. How long did it take to degrade to the point you could use your skimmer? Why are my nitrates still great? No skimmer only filter socks and yet it hasn't come up in over two weeks. Weird.

Runs some carbon to pull it out and maybe a water change would help some!!

Ooops. Forgot to say I did a 50 gal water change after completing treatment and have carbon and GFO back on line for 3 days. I'm sure it will settle down shortly.

Yup the carbon may deplete faster so keep that in mind...
