water has turned orange/brownish after treating with prazi... etc??? Help needed

[joeyrm7]

Treating my fowlr tank for ich and possibly flukes (new fish add) with copper power, just finishing a round of prazi and kanaplex. Last nite I turned the UV back on and this morning my usual totally clear water is dark and kind of orange/brown in color. Any idea what this is and how to eliminate? I don't want to use carbon as I need to maintain the copper level. I just turned the skimmer back on as well and doing a 10% water change.

Chloroquine exposed to UV will turn water a musty smelling brown color that is possibly bad for the fish. I don’t know if praziquantel or kanaplex does that because I always turn off the UV when dosing organics of any type. I don’t believe that running UV with copper power is an issue.
I would do larger water changes if the fish are showing any signs of distress.
