Reef Safe Medications

i recently battled an eye fungus/bacteria on my powder brown tang with success in the main reef tank using Melafix, and Pimafix. i suffered no losses of anything in the tank. and i overdosed.
the negative to it is you can't run your skimmer, so waterchanges are required to keep the water clean. it also took 95g total water change on 150g total water volume before i could run my skimmer without it overflowing immediately.
but it worked, so the annoyance was worth my tangs eyeball.
info-its all natural.

I used melafix with no adverse effects. Turned the skimmer down to the lowest setting. I put an couple airstones in the sump to gauge when I could turn the skimmer back up. After a couple water changes the airstones quit creating foam on the surface I was able to turn the skimmer back up to it's original level.
I also use Blue life Aptaisa control when them little suckers show up. Helped me eradicate one huge sucker that would sink down into the live rock every time I got near it.
Finally I have used flatworm exit with great success.
