    Would it be a good idea to use some paraguard in the qt as a disease preventative? I was thinking of using it for a week in my qt. Just wanted to get some feedback before I run out and get some.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    It would seem that if the primary ingredient is Malachite Green I would have to question as to it's effectiveness against the most common marine parasites such as ich.

    I have not used it myself so I have no first hand knowledge.

    Marine Depot which is a source for Paraguard has reviews on the product usage among hobbyist, you might want to look there.
