Before Dosing: Adjust temperature to 82-85°F.
This accelerates the life cycle of the parasites and insures maximum
exposure to the treatment. Remove all chemical filtration (carbon, ion
exchange resins) before use. Turn off protein skimmers before treatment;
resume use after completion of treatment. Do not perform water changes
during treatment if possible. If water changes are necessary, treat
replacement water with FixIck. May stain some ornaments, if concerned
remove before dosing.
Treatment: Shake well before each dose. One complete course of treatment
will take six days. If fish are eating, feed lightly during treatment.
Day 1: Add 5 drops per gallon/5 ml (1 tsp) per 10 gallons
Day 2: Add 5 drops per gallon/5 ml (1 tsp) per 10 gallons
Day 3: Perform a 25 to 30% water change
Day 4: Add 5 drops per gallon/5 ml (1 tsp) per 10 gallons
Day 5: Add 5 drops per gallon/5 ml (1 tsp) per 10 gallons
Day 6: Perform a 25 to 30% water change.
If necessary, you may perform a second six-day course of treatment. If
no further symptoms are observed, replace chemical filtration and resume
use of protein skimmers as well as normal feeding. Adjust temperature
back to normal.
