AW: eliminating Hydra, Heximita, Velvet, Ick and Glugea

["Erik Pfingstner" <erikpfingstner at freenet_de>]

Hello,

if I recall right, this drug is 5% concentration. The rest of the stuff ist
to a high percentage sugar. This will boost bacteria in tanks. It is
therefore advisable to change water first and to use UV-water clearer while
having the drug in the tank.

Though I cannot confirm that velvet gets killed with Flubendazole.

Erik
