Product details
Polyp Lab Reef Safe Medic 30ml is a water conditioner designed to help control external fish parasites in both marine and freshwater aquariums. It is used as an in-tank treatment, aiming to disrupt key stages of common “itch” and related protozoan life cycles—especially the attached and free-swimming stages where many treatments are less effective. By conditioning the water with a reef-safe oxidizing agent, Medic can support more complete parasite cycle disruption over a full treatment course rather than stopping as symptoms change.
Features:
- Reef-safe water conditioning for marine and freshwater systems
- Contains a reef-safe oxidizing agent intended to target external parasite stages
- Buffered to help maintain physiological pH during treatment
- Claimed not to harm invertebrates
- Claimed not to harm nitrifying bacteria
- Aims to be effective during the free-swimming timeframe by disrupting theronts/dinospores, in addition to the attached trophont stage
