I noticed some long white stringy poop on my flame angel today that fell off after about an hour (image below).

I strongly suspect internal parasites now, and was thinking of treating the QT tank (a 29 biocube) that also has a tomini tang, snails and live rock with prazi pro, I read the hikari instructions at http://www.hikariusa.com/solutions/healthaid/prazipro/ , in particular I am questioning this part:

AS A BATH: Start treatment with as large a water change as practical or start with new water. said:It seems like a large water change would just stress the fish unnecessarily?, it doesn't explain why this is needed, but I really don't understand why this is the first step before dosing prazi pro. If it is to remove potential parasites already in the water, isn't this what prazi pro does already?. If a water change is required, how much % should I change?.
I am aware that after the treatment one should do a 50% water change, but it does not make sense to me to make one before, but I am probably missing something.
As far as the rest of the instructions should I just follow them completely?:
AS A BATH: Start treatment with as large a water change as practical or start with new water. Any water used should first be conditioned with ULTIMATE or a combination of Liquid Buffered ClorAm-X and Stress-X to remove ammonia said:Planning to dose 1 teaspoon for the 20 gallons, while the biocube is 29, with the stuff in the back, plus the rock I am thinking real volume is more like 22 or 23 G.
Any recommendations welcome.
