Product details
Hikari ICH-X Water Treatment 1 Gallon (73218) is a water-treatment medication designed for use in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums when fish are affected by common protozoan and fungal/oomycete conditions. Ich-X is formulated to help treat illnesses often discussed as ich and ich-related diseases, and it’s commonly used as part of a quarantine/hospital-tank approach where you can carefully control treatment conditions. It contains formaldehyde and methanol, and it uses a malachite green formulation intended to be less toxic than harsher forms. Use it as directed by the product label to support treatment cycles and reduce the risk of under- or over-dosing.
Features:
- Formulated for freshwater and marine fish treatment scenarios involving ich and ich-related conditions
- Contains formaldehyde and methanol, and includes malachite green as the active component for target pathogens
- Uses a less harsh form of malachite green compared with more aggressive variants
- Often recommended for quarantine/hospital tank use rather than display tanks
