Is this safe for sand in my tank and plants and driftwood?


How many gallons can the API General Cure bulk (30 oz? The largecontainer you have ) treat?

Answer by ChewySep 29, 2019
You must add 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) for every 5 gallons of aquarium water. The 1.25 ounce treats 10 U.S. gallons of fresh or salt water and the 4 ounce bottle treats 118 U.S. gallons of fresh or salt water

Is it safe for crabs?

Answer by ChewyMar 23, 2021
The Super Ick Cure does not contain copper or other heavy metals, so this product is able to be used with crustaceans in the aquarium. With any sensitive species, we urge caution in making sure that the product is used at the correct dose for only the amount of water within the aquarium (account for water displacement by substrate, decorations, etc). If in doubt, always err on the side of caution and use the half dose.

Does this product harm the beneficial bacteria colony in an established aquarium?

Answer by ChewyDec 24, 2019
This medication usually does not hurt the beneficial bacteria that much.

White spot noticed- quarantined the sick ones. For three days, they were swimming normally, if a little spotty and itchy looking. After applying this medicine, at 1/4 the recommended dosage mind you, all fish started suffering. the 5 tetra sank to the bottom, scales began to look much flakier and "burned", all 5 passed within hours. Betta's fin tips are falling off, and he looks miserable. Less than 12 hrs after applying this medicine, I'm down 5 fish, and I'm so happy I didn't dose my entire tank with this poison. DO NOT BUY

The product is wonderful, works amazingly and ill absolutely be buying again. It's the package condition I'm upset about. This seems to happen with every order I get, whether its treats, medicine, or just accessories, the package is always beyond smashed. I don't know if it's the packing service, the distributor center or what, but I figured it's about time I said something. Have a wonderful day

This works well for my fish.

My fish started getting better after the first application. Their fins got healed, they resumed moving and feeding looking healthy again.
