PraziPro®
Liquid PraziPro® is a ready-to-use liquid concentrate developed to help control unwanted parasites in ponds, freshwater aquariums, and marine aquariums. Its highly effective formula offers rapid parasite control without negatively impacting biological filtration.
Highly Effective & Safe Too!
• Treats flukes, tapeworms, flatworms, and turbellarians
• Contains a proven active ingredient with a long history of use
• Easy-to-use, fully homogeneous liquid formula
• Will not negatively impact biological filtration
• Can be used as a preventative
• Excellent when used before Ich-X® as a separate treatment following a large water change
Treatment Instructions
Begin each treatment or retreatment with as large a water change as practical—at least 30%—or start with new water. Condition replacement water with Ultimate® or a combination of Liquid Buffered ClorAm-X® and Stress-X™ to remove ammonia, chlorine, and chloramines.
Keep filtration running, but remove activated carbon and stop protein skimming and UV sterilization. Failure to do so can make the treatment ineffective.
Shake vigorously before use.
Dose one (1) teaspoon, approximately 5 mL, per 20 US gallons (76 L) of water. One (1) fl oz (29.5 mL) treats 120 US gallons (454 L). This produces a concentration of 2.5 mg/L.
Dose according to the actual amount of water in the system, accounting for water displaced by substrate, rocks, coral, decorations, and internal equipment. Distribute the measured amount around the edge of the pond or aquarium, or directly into the filter box, for even distribution.
A single treatment lasting 5–7 days may be sufficient. Repeat as necessary, but no more than once every three (3) days. May be used preventatively at the standard dosage when disease is likely.
Do not use with other drugs or disease treatments. Temporary foaming may occur.
Some targeted parasites have life cycles lasting up to 28 days. For major infestations, up to four (4) uninterrupted treatments may be required. Overdosing will not speed results.
Do Not Overdose
For a rectangular tank, calculate the water volume in US gallons by multiplying the internal length × width × water depth in inches and dividing by 231. Deduct the volume displaced by substrate, rocks, decorations, and equipment.
Water Conditioner Compatibility
The manufacturer does not recommend sulfur- or sulfinite-based water conditioners with this product. If your conditioner does not list its ingredients, verify compatibility with its manufacturer before use. A rotten-egg smell may indicate ingredients that should be avoided because they can reduce treatment effectiveness and negatively affect dissolved oxygen levels.
Compatibility and Aeration
Avoid use in marine systems where flatworms of the order Polycladida are being cultured, or where feather duster worms (Sabellidae) and delicate worm-type relatives are kept.
Added aeration is recommended for heavily stocked aquariums and marine aquariums containing large amounts of coral.
Ingredients
A proprietary blend of water-soluble ingredients, oxybispropanol as an inert solubilizing agent, and less than 5% praziquantel by weight.
Caution
Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid ingestion. If swallowed, call your physician or poison control center immediately.
If eye contact occurs, immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If skin contact occurs, wash with mild soap and warm water.
