Cuprisorb is a powerful adsorbent of copper and heavy metals. Cuprisorb will remove copper more rapidly and efficiently than carbon and is thus ideal for emergency copper removal. It extracts All types of copper, including chelated copper, and remains effective until it turns a deep blue-black color. It may be regenerated repeatedly. If placed in continuous use, it will gradually extract even precipitated copper from the gravel/substrate bed as well. Cuprisorb will allow maintenance of invertebrates in copper-treated tanks by removing copper leaching from substrates.

• Powerful adsorbent of copper and heavy metals
• Copper specific chelating resin
• Removes all types of copper

SeaChem Cupramine is superior to copper sulfate, chloride and citrate: it is non-acidic, less toxic to fish, remains in solution, and does not contaminate the filter bed. Seachem Cupramine is superior to traditional chelates: it is fully charged (ionic), active at low concentrations, and is can be removed from your water with carbon.

• Buffered active copper
• For marine or freshwater
• Less toxic, superior to and safer than copper chlorides, sulfates, citrates and chelates

Seachem Focus is an antibacterial polymer for internal infections of fish. It may be used alone or mixed with other medications to make them palatable to fish and greatly reduce the loss of medication to the water through diffusion.

• Antibacterial polymer for internal infections of fish
• May be used alone or mixed with other medications
• Freshwater and marine medication

Directions: Use alone or in combination with medication of your choice in a 5:1 ratio by volume. Feed directly or blend with fresh or frozen food. Feed as usual, but no more than fish will consume. Use at every feeding for at least five days or until symptoms clear up. This product is not a feed and should not be fed directly. Its intended application is to assist in binding medications to fish food.

Seachem PolyGuard is the single most effective medication to keep freshwater fish free of disease! It is an effective treatment and safeguards against all prevalent bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases of exotic fish. For use in freshwater or marine aquaria. Be aware that many diseases and infections share similar physical and behavioral symptoms, e.g. clamped fins, lesions, and loss of appetite.

• PolyGuard treats bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases
• Very broad spectrum freshwater medication
• Good choice when unsure of the disease

When our pets are sick, we immediately want to reach for the most powerful medication on the shelf. However, sometimes the right choice to prevent stress is to opt for a gentler medication at first, especially with less severe infections. PolyGuard is among Seachems strongest medications and is best used when you are unsure what disease you are treating or when the fish is suffering from multiple infections.

Active ingredients: sulfathiazole (36%), malachite green (1.9%), nitrofurantoin (0.14%), nitrofural (0.14%), quinacrine dihydrochloride (0.27%). Inactive ingredients: excipients (61%)

Before Treating
Remove all invertebrates - these are extremely sensitive to medication. Turn off UV filters, and ozone filters, and remove chemical filtration like MatrixCarbon and Purigen. Ensure that your tank is fully cycled and stable; poor water quality is the root cause of most fish diseases, and adding medication will do no good if the water chemistry is still bad.

Dosing:
Use 1 measure (included) per every 40 L (10 US gallons) of water. Repeat this dose every 72 hours for a maximum of 2 weeks. Repeat every 3 days for up to 2 weeks or until symptoms disappear. Use whenever introducing new fish.

After Treating
When the treatment period is over, PolyGuard can easily be removed using activated filter carbon like MatrixCarbon. It does not linger in the substrate or filter media of the tank.

Metro+ is a powdered formula that uses a powerful, proven ingredient to systematically target infected areas for rapid healing. It is extremely safe and may be used as a bath or given with food.

Directions:
As a Bath: As a bath treatment for external microbial diseases of marine and freshwater aquarium and pond fishes (e.g. hole-in-the-head and lateral line), use 1 capful (~9.7g) per 10 gallons of water. A partial or complete water change should be made just prior to beginning treatment and every 24 hours thereafter, followed by re-treatment. Any water used should first be conditioned with ULTIMATE or a combination of Liquid Buffered ClorAm-X and Stress-X to remove ammonia, chlorine and chloramines. Repeat the treatment every 24 hours for 5 to 7 days or until mortalities cease or healing of lesions occurs. If improvement is not noted within 3 days, discontinue treatment and consider other therapy.

Oral Treatment: For systemic (internal) infections, Metro+ can be fed mixed with fish food.

Kordon Rid-Ich Plus is a completely safe, effective and economical Ich treatment in fresh and saltwater on a wide range of protozoan, crustaceans, and other invertebrate parasites of fish.

• Controls Ich and other external protozoan, dinoflagellate and fungal diseases of fish
• Powerful 2-medication combination
• Suitable for fresh and saltwater

Kordons Rid Ich+ is a combination of two powerful medications which have proven effective in the control of many diseases of freshwater fishes caused by external protozoan (single cell) parasites such as white spot disease, Ichthyophthiriasis, Costia, Trichodina, Chilodonella and saltwater external parasites such as Cryptocaryon and Amyloodinium. The medication can also treat fungal infections in fishes.

Rid Ich+ is recommended as the best chemical treatment for Ich, (white spot disease), having been originally developed decades ago for professional aquaculture, public aquariums, and government use in treating fishes. Other than refinement in ingredients, it has continued to remain as the foremost scientifically developed chemical treatment for Ich white spot disease. Efficacy is improved and the treatment time is often reduced when compared to treatment with either the chemicals malachite or formalin alone. Additionally, the Rid Ich+ formula utilizes the less common but also less toxic chloride salt of malachite green (this is the same salt used in Kordons Malachite Green).

The recommended treatment concentration of Rid Ich+ should be approached with caution, carefully observing the reactions of the treated fishes and ceasing treatment if any undue stress is noted. Remember, when the first outward signs of Ich (scattered spots) are noticed, the fish is often quite heavily parasitic in the mouth and gills - lowering the fishs ability to withstand additional stress. The weaker the fishes' condition, the poorer its response will be to any medication. Rid Ich+ has been shown to be reasonably safe for use on fishes which normally cannot tolerate malachite green alone.
