API Marine Quick Start, 16 OZ

Specialized Healing for the Marine Hobbyist

In a saltwater environment, a small scratch can quickly turn into a deadly bacterial infection. API Marine Melafix offers a professional-strength, botanical solution for treating external fish diseases. Derived from the Tea Tree (Melaleuca), this formula is specifically designed for the unique chemistry of saltwater, providing a safe way to heal your fish directly in the display tank.

Advanced Botanical Healing

• Targets Common Saltwater Ailments: Highly effective against fin and tail rot, "cloudy eye," mouth fungus, and open red sores or body ulcers.
• 100% Reef Safe: Formulated to be completely safe for corals, anemones, shrimp, crabs, and live rock. It will not cause "bleaching" or stress to your delicate invertebrates.
• Protects the Biological Filter: Unlike antibiotic medications, Marine Melafix will not kill your nitrifying bacteria, keeping your $NH_3$ (Ammonia) and $NO_2^-$ (Nitrite) levels stable.
• Rapid Recovery: Promotes the quick regeneration of damaged fins and tissue, which is essential for preventing secondary infections in high-flow marine environments.
• Transport & Introduction Aid: Use when adding new fish to the tank to heal any nicks or scrapes sustained during shipping and to reduce the risk of disease outbreaks.

Why "Marine" Melafix?

The Marine version of Melafix is more concentrated than the standard freshwater formula. It is balanced to work with the osmotic pressure of saltwater fish and is less likely to cause your protein skimmer to overflow (though temporary adjustment is still recommended).

Application & Dosing:

1. Dose: Add 5 ml per 10 gallons (38 L) of aquarium water.
2. Schedule: Dose daily for 7 days.
3. Observation: On the 8th day, perform a 25% water change.
4. Note: It is recommended to turn off protein skimmers and UV sterilizers during the 7-day treatment period for maximum efficacy.
