Aquasonic Formalin Malachite Solution

Introduction

Aquasonic Formalin Malachite Solution is a powerful, dual-action treatment designed to combat a wide range of external parasitic and fungal infections in both freshwater and marine aquariums. Combining the proven effectiveness of formalin and malachite green, this solution is ideal for treating Ich (white spot disease), skin flukes, Costia, and external fungal issues. Safe for most fish species when used as directed, it’s a reliable go-to for maintaining aquarium health and managing outbreaks efficiently.

Features

• Comprehensive Parasite Control: Effectively treats common external parasites, including Ich, skin and gill flukes, and fungal infections.

• Dual-Action Formula: Formalin eliminates parasites by suffocation, while malachite green disrupts their cellular activity and reproduction.

• Freshwater & Saltwater Compatible: Versatile for use in both freshwater and marine systems.

• Fast Results: Begins working immediately to provide rapid relief and control of infection.

• Safe When Used Correctly: Suitable for use with most fish, including delicate species, when dosed as instructed.

• Treats Multiple Conditions: Effective against Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, fungal infections, Costia, and similar external pathogens.

Usage

• For Freshwater Aquariums:

  • Dose 1 ml per 10 liters (2.6 gallons).

  • Repeat every 48 hours for 3–5 days based on the severity.

  • Remove activated carbon or chemical filtration during treatment.

  • After the treatment course, perform a partial water change and replace filtration media.

• For Saltwater Aquariums:

  • Dose 1 ml per 10 liters.

  • Repeat every 48 hours for up to 5 days.

  • Monitor sensitive marine species and adjust treatment if necessary.

• For Fungal & Bacterial Skin Infections:

  • Use the same dosage (1 ml per 10 liters) to treat external fungal growth or lesions.

  • Repeat as needed until symptoms clear.

Available Sizes

• 100ML: Perfect for smaller tanks or infrequent treatments.

• 250ML: Ideal for medium-sized aquariums or moderate treatment cycles.

• 1L: Best suited for large tanks or commercial use requiring multiple treatments.

Recommendations

• Water Quality Monitoring: Regularly test water parameters (pH, ammonia, nitrites, temperature) to ensure optimal treatment conditions.

• Caution with Sensitive Fish: For fish that are known to be sensitive or stressed, consider lowering the dose or frequency.

• Combining with Other Treatments: For more severe or mixed infections, this treatment may be used alongside compatible medications such as Aquasonic CopperSafe or Anti-Fungal Solution.

• Avoid Invertebrates: Not recommended for use in tanks with sensitive invertebrates such as shrimp, snails, or certain corals due to malachite green’s toxicity.

• Post-Treatment Care: After completing the treatment, provide clean, well-aerated water and consider using a recovery aid such as Seachem StressGuard to promote healing.
