Parasite medications

Medications such as 1) Copper Sulphate, 2) Copper Sulphate and Formalin, 3) Quinine Sulphate and 4) Malachite Green often cause serious toxicity problems for fish after their administration. These and other medications can remain in the water for long periods causing toxic overdosage. The POLY-FILTER will remove parasite medication rapidly without removing or effecting beneficial trace elements from the water. For parasite treatment using chellated forms of medication, remove the POLY-FILTER and add the prescribed medication to the water. Allow sufficient time for a cure of the diseased fish. Replace the POLY-FILTER and add the prescribed medication to the water. Allow sufficient time for a cure of the diseased fish. Replace the POLY-FILTER, preferably in a power filter and the remaining toxic medication will be removed from the water by the POLY-FILTER. After three days remove the POLY-FILTER and replace with a new POLY-FILTER. Save the POLY-FILTER used for medication removal as it can be reused for subsequent medication removal of parasite medication.

Do not use the POLY-FILTER exposed to parasite medication again for general maintenance or antibiotics removal.

When using non-chellated forms of medication allow 12 hours for water circulation and then install the POLY-FILTER. Continue to add half the recommended dosage every 12 hours thereafter until the fish are cured. This process will prevent the copper from precipitating out of solution which causes dangerous toxic waste build-up and sharp PH drop in the aquarium water. To prevent overdosing, copper levels must be checked each time with a test kit prior to adding more copper.
