Hi all

Whats the highest dose you can go up to , i know its 1 gm per 89 gallons as per Duncs book with 10 mil of acetone per 100 gallons i treat for 2900 which includes filters give or take so i make that 32.5 grams , but i put in 45 grams .

Three days later the flukes are still there a few dead ones on the slide but plenty of live ones ...all body flukes as i can see the live young .

Never had great success with fluebenol to be honest but i have it in stock so want to try this route first ....just glad its only flukes to be honest :P

the trouble with flubenol is its been used like confetti and its quite common now to find resistance to it

flubenol used to be sold as 15% for koi but they never had license to sell it so it was withdrawn

I thought that might be the case , i will up the dose and give it one last try then switch to prazi if it does not work .

The 30 g pack you sell would i put the whole lot in for 2900 (ish) gallons

Thanks

I read that it can take up to 10 days to kill flukes and a dose after 3 days is also needed.
