A substance supporting the fight against ichthyophthiriasis “pox” among ornamental marine fish. The substance consists of 2 preparations: Preparation 1 should be dosed in the amount of 25 ml per 100 l every 12 h for 10 days during this time there is no need to disconnect activated carbon, zeolites, skimmer or UV lamp. Due to the possible content of iodide, silver, zinc compounds, it is not recommended to additionally use iodine and zinc during the treatment. After the end of dosing the substance, the preparation works for up to 28 days, the total treatment time lasts from 14-28 days. After the treatment, there is no need to use activated carbon. It is not recommended to use it in immature tanks, tanks in which cyanobacteria have overgrown, tanks in which the iodine level has exceeded 0.3 mg/l. It is not recommended to exceed the dose and the 10-day “pox” time.
During the tests, no negative effects on the coral reef were found, however, it is recommended to observe the reef during use, especially more sensitive specimens. In the event of problems, immediately stop dosing the substance. It is suggested to remove colorful mussels, starfish and nudibranchs from the tank for the duration of treatment, on which the substance may have an irritating effect. Preparation 2 should be dosed 1-2 drops (see leaflet) to food, preferably dry or frozen, draining it from the water and waiting for it to soak up the substance. It is recommended to use it in combination with a UV lamp and/or ozone. The effectiveness of the treatment is influenced by a number of factors: the speed of noticing the disease, the condition of the fish, the stress factor, correct diagnosis of the disease, the innate immunity of a given species – a reduced effectiveness of the agent has been observed in relation to the surgeonfish, in particular Acanthurus leucosternon
