Hi guys, i've been reading most of hex problem here in this section. I manage to get some Metro today. I was told 1 tablet treat 30L. And also he told me that I put 3 tablet for my 90L tank for 1st day, another 3 for 2nd day, and another 3 for 3rd day. NO WATER CHANGE DURING THIS TIME. Also wait until 8th day, then do 25% w/c .
This is completly different from what i've read. Most member suggest w/c when adding new dose.
So, whose instruction should i follow ???
Thanks all

You should have done a water change before hand.
Once you start dosing dont change the water on the first 3 days.

Okay, I can see the convusion.
The information I have came for a recent scientific paper that has revised the treating of Metro in the tank.
The dose is given every 12 hours.
30% water change before the next dose.
Repeat every 12 hours for 3 days
Dose rate is 250 mg per 40 litres of tank water.
Keep the lights out.
In resistant cases, you may need to continue for 5 days.Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P
