You can just prazi your whole system. It works fine. I ran four doses over a month through my tank when I got flukes. All sps were fine. All fish were fine too. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
 
Prazi is to slow been there done dat. Works good in reef for internals will kill fluke(mild cases) but ive put 100$ worth of that crap in tank over two months a while back and didnt add fish trigger popped up with one on his eye any who found my answer on rc life cycle is short i have two kore fish to catch and fw dip i will leave tank empty 2 weeks 7days is recomended but rather safe then sorry fish will be dipped again every two days this time in fw then in a salt/prazi mix suposse to whack the eggs to if they laid em on the fish. On side note quick action all fish alive all eyeballs in tact. I couldnt believe how many worms i watch fall out of each fish ive only had the new guy few weejs so that chit spreeds fast
 
Prazi is slow to work at times, but combined with the fw dips, should knock it out fairly quickly. Gl on whichever route you decide to go bud.
 
Sorry in advance if I am hijacking this thread. I can move to another thread if necessary but I figure we are talking about Prazi. Have people have experience with using Prazi in reef tank? If yes, what types of corals did you have? I know Sawdonkey said he used it with SPS tank and it was fine.

Im gonna dip fish in prazi might add some to tank but gonna leave tank empty to be safe its quick few days without host theycdie . Pia to catch fish if i need to dip again they were in bad shape saw flukea comeing out there gills soon as i dipped and stuck em in qt they started breathing better and swimming better im sure im not out woods yet but might get lucky . The butterflies had it the worst angel was next still have two bf to catch but all still eating so think ill be ok . Did lot reasearch on flukes last night so have lots of info to go on
 
Well i lost two fish one must been while ago no body and puffer died today he was covered in em suspect being dipped now 5 mins andthey still coming off
 
All fish dipped tank back together prazi in will stay empty for least to weeks least i got a new scape
 
I found this on RC, if you have no corals there , lower the salinity to 15 ppm. You will kill those little buggers faster.
" Hyposalinity – Scientific research also showed hyposalinity at 15 ppt for 2 days eliminated juvenile and adult flukes. When maintained for 5 days, egg hatching was prevented"
