Yes but follow his schedule. Here’s the instructions from his website:

“ USE: Add 1 packet to each 125 NET Gallons. Very concentrated and strong, so often one treatment is needed. Can be safely doubled, especially with coldwater fish.

Treat again in 3 days if needed (after 20%+ water change)

If combined with AAP Kanamycin, still treat only once while treating with Kanamycin every other day and re-treat with AAP Yellow Powder after 3 days if needed.

Can be combined with the superior AAP Yellow Powder (premium nitrofurazone) (or the lower quality Furan 2) & Metronidazole for parasitic, fungal, & bacterial infections.

IN FACT, for Columnaris or difficult cases of Aeromonas, this combinations is often a MUST as combined these two medications form a symbiotic bond that is not completely understood, but what is known is used alone, these two are often ineffective for Columnaris.”

Does Kanaplex have the same ingredients as Kanamycin?

If the packets treat 125 gallons do I need to use a smaller dose? Or does it mean treats UP TO 125 gallons? Sorry if that seems like a dumb question. Should I also use salt with this? I have some AAP Yellow Powder-Premium Nitrofurazone arriving on Monday. My last Kanaplex treatment will be tomorrow and according the directions I'm supposed to change the water on Tuesday. Should I still do that or wait until I get the Yellow Powder?

Follow the directions when the medicine arrives. To treat columnaris, you would treat with both kanamycin and nitrofurazone concurrently. No use in treating with just one or the other. When in doubt, you can also email the website owner where you bought the nitrofurazone. He knows a lot about fish treatment

I'm going to go broke buying all of this damn medicine. Is this much Kanaplex excessive since I've already done a course of it?

I already posted the manufacturer’s (American Aquarium Products) instructions for columnaris in POST 15 but not sure if you read any of it.

It clearly states that there is a synergistic benefit from combining the meds to treat columnaris.

Also, you already asked if they are to be used concurrently. The answer was yes.

All of this is in this thread. You should wait for the meds to arrive and reread carefully
