    I've used it several times with no problem. I even accidentally overdosed the stuff (x10... yeah.. my maths failed me :p ) and the fish and plants were going about as normal.

    Thanks guys. I'm using it in my quarantine tank but want to dose my other tanks. Is it safe to use with paraguard and is this unnecessary?

    Seachem says not to mix their meds with that of other brands.

    yes I would not mix between brands, that could cause a chemical reaction and probably a plume of smoke..
