I have dosed my DT with CP for 3 weeks straight every 5th day like Nogas book mentions without water changes before dosing and the fish never acted like it was in the water. The powder is sensitive to light but the solution isn't and there is no need to turn the tank lights off.

I lost a kole tang and lemonpeel the next date after CP dosage.
I suppose my lemonpeel and kole tang were too late to be saved from velvet then. Thanks for the input they are very helpful.
