Where Does Panceur Reside?

Hello fishlorians!
I treated my Dwarf Seahorse Tank with panceur. Due to the issue of ammonia, they got downsized to a 1 gallon tank. (Its salinity will be tested daily)
So, for my 10 gallon tank, I really think a reef would be AMAZING!
But, the tank was treated with panceur. So, If I completely take apart the tank, scrub the substrate, scrub the carbon in the filter, and them put the old water back in, will that get rid of the de worming agent? Thanks so much for the advice.

 

Giving this a bump up for you, hope our salty members can help answer your question today

 

Personally, I'd not use the substrate or any of the filter media. The tank and equipment should be fine, but the substrate and media would probably soak up meds. Much better to not take the chance.

But for the tank, I'd just give it a few rinses in water, and maybe run some extra carbon when you set it back up. Definitely don't use old water, though.

 

I don't know anything about panceur, but yeah, it sounds like a no-no for corals. I'm not sure how it stays in the tank, so I agree with the above and would not re-use substrate or filter media... and certainly not water. The tank itself, as well as the equipment, should get several rinses in very hot water at the least and possibly sterilized with a bleach wash before several rinses in very hot water as well, then run with water heavily dosed with Prime. Better to be safe than sorry, especially where pricey corals are concerned.
