Fritz Maracyn Oxy

(14)

DESCRIPTION Fritz Maracyn Oxy is a quick and effective treatment for infections of true fungal infections on fish and eggs (whitish tufts of cotton-like material) and some bacterial diseases. It slowly releases small amounts of a stabilized oxygen-chlorine combination which, when used as directed, has an unusual ability to treat a wide variety of tropical fish diseases. Fungal infections are usually found at the site of an injury or recent attack from parasites. A true fungal infection has a cotton-like appearance similar to a mold found on fruit, bread or cheese, except that on fish, it is usually white instead of black or green. Fungal infections are very difficult to treat and are usually secondary invaders resulting from an injury on the fish or recent wounds from parasites or bacterial infection. Once the fungus starts growing on the fish, it usually continues to grow and enlarge. Unless medication is provided, death results. Fritz Maracyn Oxy has also been shown tobe effective against some gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial infections. Fritz Maracyn Oxy successfully controls true fungal infections caused by Saprolegnia, Ichthyosporidium, egg fungus and related species, and some common bacterial infections, such as fin and tail rot. Fritz MaracynÂ® Oxy can be used to treat fish exhibiting the following symptoms: clamped fins, swollen eyes, heavy or rapid breathing, patchy coloration or any change in behavior of the fish. All suspected infections should be treated immediately. Features: Fast Treatment for True Fungal Infections Non-Antibiotic Formula Easy-Dose Liquid Application Can Be Used with Other Meds Safe for Most Invertebrates and Plants Safe for Fresh and Saltwater Systems Intended For: Fresh and Saltwater Fish Includes: 4 oz Total Weight: 4 fl oz Capacity: Treats up to 472 Gallons Directions: Use 2.5 mL (1/2 capful) per 10gallons of water. For smaller tanks, use 5 drops per gallon. Repeat daily as needed for up to 5 days. Day 1: Add 2.5 mL per 10 gallons of water Day 2: If symptoms persist, add 2.5 mL per 10 gallons of water Day 3: If symptoms persist, add 2.5 mL per 10 gallons of water Day 4: If symptoms persist, add 2.5 mL per 10 gallons of water Day 5: If symptoms persist, add 2.5 mL per 10 gallons of water Day 6: If symptoms are still present, a repeat course of treatment will not be effective.

Fritz ProAquatics Reef Pro Mix Marine Salt

(6)

Fritz ProAquatics Reef Pro Mix (ROM) Marine Salt is manufactured using only the highest quality raw materials. Formulated by researchers and marine scientists, RPM contains all of the necessary major and minor elements of natural sea water that are utilized by living marine and reef animals. Correct pH and buffering capacity, essential minerals and trace elements have been added in precise ratios to ensure a correctly blended mix for the health and longevity of your livestock. Features: All of the necessary major and minor elements of natural sea water; Correct pH and buffering capacity Intended For: Marine Aquariums Total Weight: 14 lb Feeding Instructions: MIXING DIRECTIONS - For best results it is important to follow proper mixing instructions when using salt with elevated parameters like Fritz Aquatics Reef Pro Mix. See below for best practices when using RPM. When Mixing Fritz Reef Pro Mix, it is best to use RO/DI water quality checked by a TDS meter (TDS should be less than 10ppm, 0 is preferred). Fill a clean mixing container (dedicated to saltwater mixing only) with desired amount of water to be prepared. For best results use water between 70-75F (21-24C) when mixing RPM. Slowly add desired amount of RPM to the water to avoid an increase in temperature and precipitation. This helps to prevent precipitation of calcium, alkalinity and other elements. It is recommended to use a mixing pump and an airstone when mixing RPM. This will also help to avoid concentrated areas of material and precipitation. Using a properly calibrated refractometer, bring the water to the desired salinity. Once mixed to a clear solution, add a heater to the water to bring to the current temperature of your aquarium. It is recommended to allow two hours before performing a water change. If water does not mix clear, please contact us for further mixing tips before performing a water change. DO NOT MIX DRY SALT DIRECTLY INTO SYSTEMS WITH LIVESTOCK PRESENT! CAUTION: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption. Generates slight heat when added to water; avoid handling with wet hands. Contact with dry powder may cause skin and/or eye irritation. In case of contact, flush eyes with cool water and seek immediate medical attention. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep product tightly sealed.View details
