API Melafix is an essential water treatment for freshwater aquarium owners looking to safely address bacterial infections and promote rapid tissue recovery in their fish. It is ideal for hobbyists dealing with fin rot, open wounds, or introducing new specimens to an established tank. While it is highly effective and safe for biological filters, users must remember to remove activated carbon from their filtration system during treatment to ensure the medication remains active in the water column.

Yes, API Melafix is generally safe for most freshwater invertebrates when used according to the recommended dosage.
No, this product is specifically formulated for freshwater aquariums.
It is recommended to turn off UV sterilizers and protein skimmers during treatment to prevent the medication from being prematurely removed from the water.
No, the natural formula is safe for use in planted tanks and will not harm live aquatic plants.
When kept in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, the product remains effective until the expiration date printed on the packaging.
Melafix is compatible with most water conditioners, but avoid mixing it with other intensive medications unless directed by a professional.
This is a normal reaction to the Melaleuca oils. Increase surface agitation using an air stone or by adjusting your filter output to break up the bubbles.
Verify that all activated carbon was removed from the filtration system, as carbon filters out the medication. If the condition persists, consult a professional to rule out parasitic or fungal issues.
Before dosing, perform a standard water test to ensure pH and ammonia levels are within safe ranges. To prepare your tank for treatment, remove any carbon media from your hang-on-back or canister filter, as carbon will neutralize the active ingredients. Dose at a rate of 5ml per 38 litres of water. After the 7-day treatment cycle, perform a 25% water change to freshen the environment. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain the potency of the natural extracts.
