I still have Hydra!
I recently purchased some Fish Bendazole
Could some on please help me out with the correct dosage?
Fish Bendazole is 99% Fenbendazole
I have read reports of people using 0.1 gram of safeguard / panacur (22% fenbenzadole) to treat 10 gal of water in shrimp tanks.
Seeing as though fish bendazole has almost 5 x the amount of fenbenzadole in it would i be safe to a could use 0.1 gram of fish bendazole to treat 50 gals
Is Fenbezadole safe for scaless fish such as clown loaches, pleco, ghost knife?

You are correct in diluting the dosage by 5. (0.1/50 gallons).
Considering that loaches can eat fenbendazole, I do not see any issue with it being in the water.

ok thanks for the reply.
for future reference would the dose of fish bendazole be the same for internal parasite?

Fenbendazole doesn't dissolve in water very well at all. I know you can warm the water in the microwave to mix it with first and that helps it dissolve. It can be warm but not too HOT. So you would add the Fenbendazole to a warm pint of water and shake. Then add the pint to the tank. Hopefully it will dissolve better.
I had hydra, probably still have a few hold outs. They lost a big portion of their food supply. When the algea scrubber started producing green.
What was their food supply? I know they'll eat smaller micro organisms but you were raising daphnia/water fleas I think? Did the hydra eat them?
This is a deep subject. That alot of reasurch has been done. As it seems a $1700.00 price tag is required. So I kept looking. 
This is a free 14 page article, on the subject. Basicly, Algea will absorb, all the crap dissolved in the water. That Bacteria will absorb, and multiply. The algea will out compete bacteria. Leaving a green nutritious residue. Which is easily removed, and turned into bio diesel, or composted in to strawberry plant fertlizer. ( I grow lots of berries, cherries, and apples in the summer)
Hydra are fresh water mini anemones, just need some micro clown fish. They feed on bacteria, and larger single cell microorganisms.

Also. The little daphnia monsters, compete with the hydra for any available bacteria, in addition to eating green algea. Fry and small fish prey on the daphnia, were nothing will eat hydra, that I know of.
If you have a infestation of ick, hydra, planaria, worms, or other sump monsters. An algea scrubber is a priceless tool. Possibly worth more than, all your bio media, and a kilo of Purigen.
Some want nitrate reduction, I want a battle scarred, fin nipped African Cichlid to heal him self. With out any pharmaceutical products.
