My guess is that the UV is there to kill live things like parasites and bacteria?? etc.
I don't think UV (especially if it isn't a high power one) will hurt at all, otherwise we would be treating tanks in the dark.

What a helpful topic...flagyl is used to kill a variety of worms in humans including Giardia not sure if that's spelt correctly
It can make you feel very sick when taking it,i talk from experience..the dosage would have to be a lot lower than for humans that's for sure

Hi all
I'd like to Big L & Prazi worming treatment on my apisto in QT. They share QT with some cardinal tetras & harley rasboras.
Are they any issues with the cardinals & rasboras in regard to the worming treatment?
thanks in advance.

cardinals survived big L and prazi in my tanks no problem, never kept rasboras though so icant say,
as for the UV question, UV will ionise the levimenisole and make it useless turn off UV when ever administering any treatment.
as for flagyl, that's the brand name for metronidazole, the minimum effective dose in aquaria is 25mg/L or mixed into food at 1g/100g w/w higher doses of metro are being used as flagellets become more and more resistant i believe overseas they are using up to 100mg/L, personally i think this dose can do longterm damage the internal organs of the fish.

OK, I just set up a quarantine tank for snails and shrimp. Should I also separate the Royal Wiptail, bristlenose, SAE, Oto?

is it worth adding a small dosage of wormer to a beefheart mix to provide some long term deterrent?

No, only treat when you see symptoms, as Illusn said, worms are building up immunity, this will only add to the problem.
