I am pretty sure it is safe to use them together because they are both natural. I have used both and had success. Be forwarned though your skimmer is going to go crazy when you are done with treatment and turn it back on. Be ready to be on top of emptying it. Good luck to you!

Why don't your treat both with hyposalinity?
Beth, let me inform you of my predicament. I am treating a 6" porc puffer and a 4" clown trigger in my 145 FOWLR. I have a 37 tall setup at all times for QT/HT That is occupied by 7" Surge Wrasse which i recently bought and quaratined. Recently both developed ick... My volume of live rock exceeds the amount of space i would need to keep my surge wrasse happy ( the tank is a bit small fr him before adding all my live rock from my main tank.) Ideally I would like to add the surge wrasse to 145 with puffer and clown trigger and hypo but the added stress from introducing a new fish might have negative results, I think. Another thought was to partition 145 tank so fish could acclimate to environmental changes and hypo all together. What do you think Beth?
