It effectively targets common ailments such as White Spot, Costia, Chilodonella, and Trichodina, providing a double-strength solution that is both economical and potent.

FAQs

Can I use this with other medications?

No. You must avoid using any other pond medications for 10 days following the final dose of this treatment.

Why do I need to turn off my UV filter?

UV light destroys the chemical composition of Formalin, rendering the treatment ineffective if left running.

How long should the UV filter remain off?

The UV filter must remain off for 5 full days during the dosing period.

Is this safe for all pond fish?

This product is designed for ornamental koi ponds. Always ensure your pond volume is accurately calculated to keep your fish safe.

What is the recommended dosing interval?

Dose on day 1 and day 3 of the treatment period.

How many times can I repeat the treatment?

You can repeat the course after 7 days if necessary, up to a maximum of 4 consecutive courses.

Troubleshooting

Parasites are still visible after the first course.

Wait 7 days after the initial course to assess the fish, then repeat the treatment cycle for a maximum of up to 4 consecutive courses.

I accidentally overdosed the pond.

Perform a partial water change (10-20%) immediately to dilute the concentration, and monitor fish for signs of distress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the safety of your pond ecosystem, follow these steps during the treatment:

  1. Calculation: Carefully calculate your total pond volume (length x width x average depth x 1000 for liters).
  2. UV Management: Turn off all UV clarifiers and UV sterilizers for at least 5 days during the dosing period.
  3. Application: Apply the formula on Day 1 and again on Day 3.
  4. Repeat Process: If parasites persist after 7 days, you may repeat the course, but do not exceed 4 consecutive treatment courses.
