PolypLab Medic is a reef safe, highly effective water conditioner used
to de-pollute water in both marine and freshwater environments. It
contains a reef safe oxidizing agent and is particularly effective
against Marine Ich (Crytpocaryon irritans), Freshwater Ich
(Ichthyophthirius), and Marine Velvet (Amyloodinium ocellatum).
Features:
- Completely reef safe.
- Buffered to maintain physiological pH.
- Does not harm invertebrates.
- Does not harm nitrifying bacteria.
Many external fish parasites have very similar life cycles. In
particular, these parasites have an "attached" stage (trophonts), a
"matured" stage (protomonts), a "reproductive" stage (tomonts), and a
"free-swimming" stage (theronts/dinospores).
Most available
products do not target the free-swimming stage of the parasite which is
one of the primary difficulties in dealing with these problems. Research
with dilated protozoans has shown that the "free-swimming" stage of
parasites have remarkably consistent hatching times. Our conditioner
targets the trophont stage of the parasite but also disrupts the life
cycle during the "free-swimming" timeframe, when the oxidative component
in the conditioner is particularly effective against
theronts/dinospores.
Directions:For in tank
treatment: Use one level scoop of Medic for every 190L (50 Gallons) of
your system volume twice per day For serious problems use (3) level
scoop for every 190L (50 Gallons) of your system volume. Add once in the
morning, and once in the evening. Continue to Add for 10 days up to a
maximum of 20 days.
Note: Ozone and carbon must
not be used during the treatment. Protein skimmers can be run as as
normal. UV filter can be used one hour after dosing. The problem may
seem to disappear when white specks are no longer visible on the fish.
This is merely part of the natural cycle of the parasite and you must
continue adding the product for the minimum entire course (10 days).
Once complete, run granular activated carbon for 2 or 3 days.
