The clown I just bought has brooklynella. I put it in qt and I need to treat it with formalin but I am leaving for monterey tomorrow morning and I'll be gone all weekend so I need to put everything together today that it needs for the weekend. I've read that you are supposed to do formalin dips but do I add formailin to the qt? Also if anybody has high quality food I need enough for 5 days until I can make my own. I'd like to administer the first dose/dip tonight or tomorrow morning. I've heard brook kills fast so I'm panicking here so please help me out. :confused2:

indeed its a fast killer but even Formalin dips for a few minutes are very very effective. perhaps next time make a quick stop by a store or another reefer and get some. Formalin is good to have on hand when obtaining any new clownfish. btw Brook is a very very common disease among them
