Overview

External parasites like marine ich and velvet are some of the most frustrating problems a reef keeper can face, especially when copper isn't an option in a tank full of invertebrates and corals. Medic from Polyp Lab is a water conditioner designed to be used directly in reef systems, targeting these parasites through their life cycle rather than through a traditional medication.

It's formulated to be gentler on tank inhabitants than conventional treatments, though as with any parasite treatment, results can vary between systems and outbreaks.

Key features
  • Formulated to be used directly in reef tanks containing invertebrates and corals
  • Buffered to help maintain physiological pH during treatment
  • Targets external parasites including marine ich and marine velvet
  • Does not require the removal of invertebrates before use
Who it's for

Reef keepers dealing with an active parasite outbreak who want an in-display treatment option rather than removing fish to a separate hospital tank.

Setup & tips
  • Follow the dosing schedule and full treatment duration exactly as directed, since parasite life cycles depend on consistent dosing
  • Remove carbon, ozone and UV sterilisation during the treatment period, as directed
  • Monitor fish and invertebrates closely throughout treatment for any adverse reaction
  • Run activated carbon for a few days after treatment finishes to help clear the water
