A lot of people have questions
Why should you take two doses? Dosing is more gentle on fish.
Fish are accustomed to greater active dosage rates with two-step dosing. both on day one and day four. As a result, active substances must be present at higher concentrations for a longer length of time in order to attack certain disease lifecycle components that cannot be killed. White spot is a good illustration of this.
How long must pass before I receive treatment once more?
You can provide the dose again or treat the pond using a different method. 7 days following the completion of the previous dose, after a 20% water change.
Do I have to turn off my UV?
Yes, the UV will reduce the treatment's effectiveness and impair its effectiveness.
Is it okay to use eaMedications with sturgeon, tench, or orfe?
No
Should I aerate the water more?
Yes, aerate the pond or treatment bath whenever it is being used.
