Fish medicine for all kinds of disease, ICH, VELVET, POP-EYE, DROPSY etc. This medicine works a MIRACLE. It requires you to treat for 7 days but on the 3rd day, all fish are very active and Ich free. A small bottle costs $65 and would treat approx. 2000 gallons, 1 drop for every 25 gallon. It beats every single medicine out there in its class.

It is REEF & INVERTS safe. We personally tried it and we were amazed at how good this medicine works. We had a tank of Hippo and Powder blue tangs full of Ichs and within 3 days.... they are swimming, eating greedily and FREE of disease.

Call or email us for more info or simply stop by to see for yourself.

Cheers

What is the medicine called?

[Klay]

i stole 3 vials and injected them in my veins. i used to have ich but i'm immune now

okay jokes aside, i can vouch for that stuff. i saw their PBT before and after. amazing stuff

Sorry, but I have to say something here.. 3 days is no where near enough time to tell whether ich is actually been cured, as it cycles, and it may just have fallen of the fish on its own, gearing up for another cycle.

Ich is a disease that can appear to be cured and then can hit the fish again in a few days or weeks. Also I would be cautious about the statement Reef Safe as all chemicals carry certain risks with them and it is important to minimize the addition of chemicals to your tank no matter what they are. Sometimes our hand is forced, but chemicals should be used as a last resort..

This medication may be some awesome stuff but I don't think 3 days is enough time to tell whether it trully works or not..

Here are some good read for you Mike...

Ich appears as small white bumps on your fish's body and/or fins resembling grains of sand. Unless you have all white fish, Ich is easy to spot. It is one of the most common and widespread diseases in home aquariums. Many say that Ich is caused by rapid water temperature fluctuations, rapid changes in water conditions, adding new fish or poor water quality. The fact is these events can all cause stress in the fish, which in turn weakens the fish’s immune system making the fish more susceptible to the disease. Ich is often dormant in the tank unnoticed until a fish comes under enough stress to be affected by the disease. If caught in time the disease can be easily cured. If not it can become lethal. The protozoans that cause Ich have a three phase life cycle. It is this life cycle that makes Ich so contagious.

Adult/Mature Phase – Mature parasites are embedded in the skin or gills of the fish, causing irritation and the appearance of small white bumps. As the parasite grows it feeds on the red blood cells and skin cells of the fish. After a few days it bores itself out of the fish and falls to the bottom of the aquarium. This leaves a lesion on the fish which also makes it vulnerable to secondary bacterial infections.

Cyst phase - After the adult parasite falls to the bottom of the aquarium, it forms a gelatinous capsule around itself or cyst which allows rapid cell division to occur. This produces hundreds of young parasites or ‘swarmers’.

Free swimming phase - after the cyst phase, about 1000 free swimming young swim upwards looking for a host. If a host is not found within a short time, the parasite dies. Once a host is found the whole cycle starts over.

The time taken for the life cycle to turn full circle varies with the water temperature, being a lot faster in tropical than in temperate conditions. In Ichthyophthirius, the complete cycle can take about 3-4 days at 21°C(70°F). At lower temperatures (10°C/50°F) this period can extend out to at least 5 weeks. At even lower temperatures the parasite can lie dormant for some time.

Cryptocaryon is more dependent on high temperatures and rarely causes problems below 20°C (68°F).

Btw... this has been the 6th day of treatment and no sign of Ich in all our fish. Sometimes, we have no choice but to use some sort of chemical to rid the problems...

Mike, didn't you use interceptor pills to rid your red bugs at one point? Used red slime remover to rid your cyano bacteria? Flatworm exit to rid your flatworms?
Used 2 part Ca buffer systems and other supplements into your system?

What do you think these are??????

The medicine:

Ich - This medication is used for the treatment of ichthyophthirius. More commonly known as ich or “white spot” disease. The Ich Treatment is highly effective against most forms of the ichthyophthirius protozoan. 80% of the time after the first 24 hours the ich is gone. There are many forms of ich and the medicine reacts differently with the each variety of the parasite. Two varieties are extremely hard to get rid of and in some cases this medicine will not work. There are two potential reasons to why the medicine is not helping an infected fish. The fish may have been infected too long prior to its first dose of medicine. At this point it is much more difficult to fight off ich. There are two strains of ich that are hard to fight. The current solution does help to minimize a tank out break, but there are chances that one or two fish may have trouble making it. As always the medicine is reef safe and invert safe so you will not need to quarantine anything

[Duce]

Jensen why do you guys close soooo early at 8 PM on week nights :(
Can I call dips on that pinkish Blasto that is at the end of the tank (near the counter) on the egg crate if it is still available :D I won't be able to come by till near the end of the week. Jay should know which one I am talking about.
Hummmmm frags of that Rainbow Acan (mostly orange color) piece will be pretty sweet too.....

Jensen.. my point isn't to get into an argument with you...

I have never had red bugs, nor have I dosed flatworm exit, so I don't know where you got that idea from?

I did dose redslime remover.. Rember I said the chemical should be used as a last resort. I did not say they should never be used.

Thank you for the lesson on the life cycle of ich.

Mike

I'm sorry, am I missing your point here? We have been in the hobby for approx. 20 years, don't you think we know the facts of keeping a reef tank and knowing what's best?????

I'm not here to argue with you as I am aware you have valid points... we posted this medicine because we are glad and happy of the results it gave us. We are simply sharing our experience with others that are having problems with sick fish.

As a store... we vouch for this medicine that we are using right now and I will highly recommend it.

We truly believe in our EXPERIENCE is our best KNOWLEDGE.... and not based our knowledge from reading articles... I hate reading!!! :twitch:

Thank you.

[Estey]

I have seen the results of this medication in a reef tank first hand. It works wonders with no adverse effects to any corals or inhabitants - except the parasites of course.

[ajx22]

Sounds great!!

Anyone know what the medication/additive is called?

TIA,

[aquagrl]

Does the medication affect your skimmer?

[lotus02]

I have seen what this medicine can do first hand. A friend of mine That Salt Guy , after moving ,his tank was infested with ick got the medicine for him while in IMAC. Gave it to him when I got home he had already lost his prize fish, his other fish were gasping rapid gill movement and laying on the bottom of his tank, after two treatments fish were swimming and eating again. He continued the treatment as par instructions, Ick is gone and has not returned. If you ask him he will tell you that medicine is worth every dollar you pay for it and he would treat his tank with this again if he had to. He lost well over $300 dollars in just with two of the fish he lost. If we could have gotten this to him sooner or if someone would have stocked it here then ,he would have been able to save all his fish.

My theory is if you have ick in your tank ,you stress your fish even more trying to catch just to treat it plus you stress the whole tank inhabitance there for causing more harm to your tank, then when your fish is cured you have to stress it out again to catch it and return it to the DT. This medication being safe to use and you don't have to stress your fish to treat it this is a great item. :bananas:

[Chrismo]

I agree with Mikes thinking. It it wise to be skeptical of chemical treatments, but I'm keen to see what more people who've tried it say about it. Sounds as great as reef rafts sale!

Chris

[Reef Raft]

Aj, the medicine is called ICH

Reef Mike... No need to apologize, it is a wonderful subject to be discussed in an open forum.

Aquagirl, most if not all chemicals introduced into a tank affects your skimmer. The medicine works even when the skimmer is on but will work better without.

Chrismo.... I agree with you. So everyone come in for the SALE, LOL :bananas:

[ajx22]

Aj, the medicine is called ICH

Who's it made by? Just trying to do a little research on this product myself - as I like to KNOW what I'm putting into my tanks. lol

Any further info would be appreciated!!

[Lauriem]

OK back to the coral prices. I was in your new store a few days ago and saw the huge sun polyps. Are they also $45.00. If so can you put one on hold for me? I would be able to come pick it up tomorrow or the next day. I am coming from Barrie so if you have it and would hold one for me I would come down immediatly. Pleas let me know by post or e-mail (laurieandpepper@sympatico.ca)
Thanks in advance
PS I love the look of your new store!
Oh would there be any better deal if I took both of them?
Thanks agian

I highly doubt those corals are $45 (re: huge sun polyps)...if they are what i think they are then they're super rare and prolly go for about $250 to $300 for a few heads approx.

if i'm wrong, then save one for me too!!

Zach.

[Cellenzweig]

I was in your new store a few days ago and saw the huge sun polyps. Are they also $45.00. If you're talking about the dendrophyllia that was there at the grand opening, I doubt it is $45. They were $250 each before (it think) .

[KevinFJB]

The medication sounds very interesting - please keep us posted of your experience using this in your tanks. No one wants to add medication to their systems. Until they have to. But, it is nice to have an options at that point, whether it is Flatworm Exit, Greenex, Interceptor or otherwise. First hand experience counts most here.

[BlueNWhite]

Regarding this medication, could it be used as an alternative to copper or hyposalinity during the quarantine process?


Use of copper and hyposalinity require a lot of work and constant monitoring, which are probably the main reasons why quarantining is not done by many hobbyist.

If this is an alternative, then using the medication in a quarantine tank before the new fish are placed into the display tank will reduce the amount of medication needed, eliminate the 'risks' of medication in the DT, simplify the quarantine process, etc.

So could this be a reasonable alternative (I know that the original methods would be best, but...)

Thanks,
Raymond

Hi Jensen,
I am very interested in the ICH medication.
Please provide us more info on the "ICH".
Manufactory, contents......
Thank you.

I have never used copper based medicine for our fish simply because of this reason:

Most fish being imported are caught using cyanide and already stressed from shipping.... thus, (will be very susceptible in any kind of bacterias) & will even become harmful to the fish in the long run if put in a copper treated tank.

In our observations, we found that fish imported here directly from the farm will and almost have ICh within the 3rd day. ICH is always present in the aquariums.

Like mentioned before, there is NO NEED for QT, these medicine can be used directly to your DT with no worries. We have tried it on our 180 gallon DT and also the 2 big Acro tanks with success. The medicine ICH has an 85% success overall and will not necessary work for all, under certain conditions.

Water conditions plays a big part in our tanks. I will be inviting the manufacturer of these products into the forum and help everyone with their questions and concerns about the said product.

Thank you.

[Reef Raft]

Btw, Dendrophyllia Fistula (fire cracker coral, giant sun polyps) are still $250.00.

[ajx22]

I will be inviting the manufacturer of these products into the forum and help everyone with their questions and concerns about the said product.

Thank you.

Looking forward to this!

Thanks Jensen!!

[precision]

I have used this medicine also. nosickfish! Amazing results! I have talked to others who have used it with great results also. I have a 300 gallon tank with 500# of live rock................No way to catch a fish, without almost killing them. What amazes me are the guys who have not used it and want to kick the product without knowing a dam thing about it. There loss!
The bottle may cost more but it beats trying to catch them and saving the fish is what this is about. I would pay 3 times the amount!

[Duce]

My only comment on the Ick topic is that
Bare in mind your result may vary. I have "read" many threads where one medicine will work wonders in one tank and the same medicine will wipe out another.

[Andy]

I remember a product that I used to use when I first got into saltwater called "Sano". It had similar results to what is being reported here. Is there any chance that this is the same stuff.

[ShipWreck]

SALES starts tomorrow (Tuesday until Sunday)

I have used the no sick fish ich cure on my aquarium after a tank transfer that caused stress in all my fish. We used the product to stop ich after it killed a few fish 3 days later after I put it in the tank it started to work.

[ReefSalt]
