Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Safe for use in salted ponds
  • Highly effective against common bacterial and fungal infections
  • Easy-to-follow liquid application
  • Helps address diverse health issues like fin and mouth rot

Cons

  • Cannot be used in water temperatures below 12.5°C
  • Requires manual UV sterilizer shutdown during treatment
  • Risk of fish fatalities if the product is overdosed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before administering, ensure your pond temperature is at least 12.5°C, as the medication is not stable or safe below this threshold. Always tighten the cap and shake the bottle thoroughly before measuring your dose.

Crucially, you must switch off your UV sterilizer for the entire duration of the treatment, as UV light can degrade the active ingredients. A full course lasts for a maximum of 10 doses, with a required interval of 3 days between each application. Store the container in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and keep it inaccessible to children and pets.
