Medic™ Medic is a highly effective treatment for external fish parasites present in both marine and freshwater environments. It contains an antibiotic component and a reef-safe oxidizing agent that work together to help eliminate parasites. It is particularly effective against: Marine Ich - Crytpocaryon irritans Freshwater Ich - Ichthyophthirius multifiliis Marine Velvet - Amyloodinium ocellatum Features • Completely reef-safe • Does not harm invertebrates • Does not harm nitrifying bacteria • Buffered to maintain physiological pH Size: 15mL - (Treats 550G of aquarium volume) How Medic works: 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 treatments do not target the free-swimming stage of the parasite which is one of the primary difficulties in dealing with these infections. Research with ciliated protozoans has shown that the "free-swimming" stage of these parasites have remarkably consistent hatching times. We have engineered our medication to be most efficient during this stage. Our medication targets the trophont stage of the parasite but is also very effective in disrupting the life cycle during the "free-swimming" stage. Thus, when using the medication, hobbyists should try to maintain the highest concentration of the medication during this "free-swimming" timeframe - when the oxidative component in the medication is particularly effective against theronts/dinospores. Active Ingredients: Metronidazole, Peroxide acids. Directions: For in tank treatment: Use 1 drop of Medic for every 25G of your system volume twice a day. Continue to dose medication for 7 days. For visibly heavier infestations, continue medication for 10 days. Dose one drop in the morning (Before 10am if possible). Dose the 2nd drop in the evening (After 10pm if possible). Note: UV, ozone and carbon must not be used during the treatment. Protein skimmers can be run as normal. The infection 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 dosing the medication for the entire course (7 days) to be maximally effective. After treatment is complete, users can remove the anti-biotic component from the water column by running granular activated carbon for 2 or 3 days. Store product in a cool and dry location, from direct sunlight.
