Soaking food in Metro Question?

[dkeef]

Ive seen some of my discus few weeks ago with white poop. i have a 300gal tank and id rather not treat whole tank with metro and do daily WC 7-10 days.
ive gone thru PP and furan 2 to treat bacterial infection recently and still wanna treat with metro. altho i havent seen white poop recently.

All my discus eat FDBW from Al eagerly. 90% eat Bills Super BH flakes but 3 dont. i also have Kens metro/garlic flakes and id say maybe 60% eat it but not much.

so based on this, im thinking soaking FDBW in metro but do i first dissolve metro powder in cup of tank water and then soak FDBW in for 30min then feed?
whats best way?

This was the advice given to me last week.
"No need to presoak the fdbw's that long, they will absorb all the water/medication they can in about 2-3 minutes."

What concentration of metro do i soak in?

I was using metro from seachem i just put a couple of little scoops in and let them soak.

If they'll accept flake, and most Discus should, there is also a good Metro flake from Angels Plus. I also add Metro to Beef heart by unfreezing, adding back and refreezing.
