Ick / Velvet

I noticed today that some of my fishes has started to develop tiny white spots. I ran out to the LFS and bought some protazoin(sp?) and dosed the reccomended ammount, heres the problem;

i forgot to half-dose because of my BN pleco! Will he be okay??
i also forgot to take the carbon out for 15min or so, will that bring the dose down enough for him?

We have a BN Plec in one tank that had ich, the only inhabitants that showed symptons were the black neon tetras. I used a slightly reduced dose of the meds becuase of the BN and he was fine over several treatments.

I also added some aquarium salt and raised the temp a few degrees. Not sure how much the carbon will affect the dose in your case though. I'd be tempted to wait a couple of days and redose at half strengh.
