Medic is a highly effective water conditioner used to control external fish parasites present 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 How Medic Works Completely reef-safe, Bufferded to maintain physiological pH. Does not harm invertebrates and 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 treatments has do not target the free-swimming stage of the parasite which is one of the primarily difficulties in dealing with these problems. Research with dilated protozoans has shown that the \"free-swimming\" stage of parasites have remarkably consistent hatching times. We have engineered our product to be most efficient during this stage. Our conditioner targets the trophont stage of the parasite but is also disrupting 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 Polyp Lab 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. Dose once in the morning, and once in the evening. Continue to dose 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 dosing the product for the minimum entire course (10 days) to be maximally effective. After treatment is complete, run granular activated carbon for 2 or 3 days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polyplab","offers":[{"title":"30 mL (1.01 fl oz)","offer_id":52029481746753,"sku":"POL-013904","price":39.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/8968\/2497\/files\/media_a1472a1f-fc05-487e-80aa-141b4e8bbee5.png?v=1785345464"},{"product_id":"seachem-pond-healtguard","title":"Seachem Pond HealtGuard","description":"\u003ch1\u003eSeachem Pond HealtGuard\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOverview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures Safe disinfectant to promote the control of parasitic, bacterial, fungal, and viral infestations Will not discolor water or cause foaming Plant safe Overview Pond HealthGuard™ is a safe disinfectant to promote the control of parasitic, bacterial, fungal, and viral infestations of fish in ponds.

Measure Liquid PraziPro\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e at the rate of one (1) teaspoon (~5mL) per 20 (76L) gallons of water to be treated (one [1] fl. oz. [29.5 mL] per 120 gallons [454L]). Care should be taken to treat the exact amount of water in the system. This means deductions for substrate, rock or coral and any other internal equipment is necessary. You can calculate the amount of water in your aquarium by taking a measurement of the length x width x depth of the area with water and dividing by 231 for approximate volume. This produces a concentration of 2.5 mg\/L. Distribute the proper amount around the edge of the pond or aquarium or directly in to the filter box to achieve the best overall distribution. A single treatment lasting 5-7 days may be sufficient. Retreat as necessary, but no more than once every 3 days. May be used as a preventative, at the standard dosage, when disease is likely. Do not use with any other drugs or disease treatments. May cause noticeable temporary foaming. It's important to note that most parasites in the class that PraziPro\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e would be used for have up to a 28 day life cycle. This means for major issues, up to four (4), uninterrupted treatments may be required to resolve the issue.Over dosing will not speed impact. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDO NOT OVERDOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e - this means you should calculate the actual amount of water in your tank by multiplying the length x width x height and dividing by 238 to get the true gallons.
