Used this product to treat a freshwater fish with Ich. The treatment worked within a few days. My fish showed improvement after the first week. The instructions were clear and the product dissolved easily in the tank water.

Tried it on a marine fish with fungal infection. The fungus cleared up after a full treatment cycle. It’s effective but requires careful dosing to avoid overexposure.

Helped prevent a potential outbreak in my community tank. I used it as a preventive measure during a temperature change. The fish seemed healthy after treatment.
