    Default Setting up new qt tank

    I am setting up a new qt tank. I already have my sponge filter seeding off the main tank and it will be used in about 2 weeks. Can someone tell me what good products are too use on my incoming fish to be safe? This is what I have in mind. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Fenbendazole
    Prazipro
    Cupramine

    For a quarantine tank with filter seeded off the main tank is not a good idea as it leaves a greater chance of cross contamination. Follow one of the SimplyDiscus Sponsor`s method, one can not go wrong http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...Kenny-s-Discus
    As for your medication list add Metronidazole to it

    Yeah I am going with a fish less cycle sponge instead, so the metronidazole is the only medication I need for new fish? No deworming??

    Praziquantel and metronidazole If you are getting all the new fish at the same time follow this guide

    I have heard not to treat for bacteria / protozoan without seeing evidence for the need to treat. What is your thoughts on this? This would leave me with something like this:
    AQ Salt
    PraziPro
    Levamisole
