WHAT IS MEDIC?

Medic is a 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

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 Products 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. 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 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.

Compatibility

Marine and freshwater, and safe to dose to a stocked reef display — that is the point of it. It does not harm invertebrates or nitrifying bacteria, and it is buffered so it does not move pH.

Do not run ozone or activated carbon during treatment; both strip the oxidising agent out. A protein skimmer can stay on as normal. A UV steriliser may be run, but only from an hour after each dose. When the course is finished, run granular activated carbon for two or three days to clear the residue.

Pack Size

33 g jar with a measuring scoop.

At the standard rate of 1 level scoop per 190 litres twice daily, a 380 litre system uses 4 scoops a day, and a full 10-day course is the better part of a jar. For a serious outbreak the rate is 3 scoops per 190 litres per dose, and courses can run to 20 days — so for anything above about 300 litres, buy two.
