Polyp Lab Medic 30ml by Polyp Lab

I had ick in my large reef tank. Went fallow for 3 months, treated all my fish in 2 QT tanks and ick reappeared shortly after. I was extremely disappointed and aggravated. A local fish guy recommended this product. Amazingly it worked. It's been over 8 months and no signs of ick!

Long story short, I got a sick juvenile Porcupine puffer. He had ich when I got him. I QT’ed him and treated with coppersafe, but I swear it almost ended him every time. After the 3rd round of QT…. enough was enough! I had pristine water parameters, RODI, cycled tank, UV etc with a system that cost me about 8,000 USD and was about to throw in the towel before I ordered this. I have a 100 gallon system with anemones, zoanthids, and soft corals only. I ordered online to avoid the heat from my LFS and this is GOLD! Literally saved me from quitting the hobby. I was not about to traumatize my fish again, and this was the final straw. Overall following instructions to totally be ich free I used around 3-4 bottles over the course of two months. Follow the instructions carefully and do not miss a dose! My Puffer was ich free for 1 week the first time, stopped dosing for 3 days it came back. I realized you have to treat this like an antibiotic, taper up, then taper down, be careful. At one point I did increase the dose to 8 scoops when the ich was booming (6 was recommended); but do at your own risk. With water changes treat the new water as well. Glad to say it’s been 6 months now and my ich is managed. I would recommend using this at the first sight of ich, the faster you treat the better imo. Now I always keep a bottle handy bc the seller took almost 2 weeks, then it came broken 😡. I had to go to my LFS in shame to buy. Stock up if you have a big tank or use a seller that has it on prime.

I’ve read mixed reviews and have tried multiple ich treatments and this is the only one to have worked for me. Followed directions to the tee and my fish are now looking a lot healthier within 3 days of treatment. Great to have on stand by and my corals don’t mind it its important to not let it fall on them, it truly is reef safe.

Not sure if it works. I mean ich comes and goes in the tank ive used it in. Does make coral mad if its near them when added in the tank. I mean ive stopped seeing whites after a few days of using it..... but they'll return a month or so later

This is not a rating against the seller. This is solely for the product. It doesn't work! I treated my tank with Medic with no discernible result. I have lost 80% of the fish in my tank and the ich marches on. Ich treatments are the 'snake oil' of the day. FYI there is only one ingredient listed 'hydroxide salt'. This product is only worth the momentary hope it provides you when you see your fish infected with ich. But this feeling quickly fades when you see this does not work at all.
