It would depend on what you plan on treating with it I suppose. Personally, the only medication I use is Prazipro to treat all new fish in QT. To avoid using anything else, new additions go through the tank transfer method to rid them of parasites. If I had to, Chloroquine phosphate would be my first choice as a stronger medication
Remember that formalin is toxic - IMHO it should be avoided if at all possible, and you can't make me use anything with copper in it for the same reason.

I make sure the new arrivals are eating and then hit them with a round of API general cure and then use cp (new life spectrum ich sheild powder) for 21 days. after that I slowly raise the salinity thru water changes (1-2 weeks) and watch for any signs of infections. retreat if necessary.
