Q: What are the active ingredients in Aquarium Solutions Ich-X?

A: Aquarium Solutions Ich-X contains formaldehyde (<5%), methanol (<2%), and malachite green chloride (<0.1%). The formula is specifically designed to treat common aquarium fish diseases including Ich, velvet, fungal infections, and other protozoan-caused illnesses. It's plant safe and invertebrate safe when used as directed.

Q: How much Ich-X do I need for my aquarium?

A: Add 1 teaspoon (5mL) per 10 gallons of water for freshwater aquariums. For ponds, use 1 teaspoon per 50 gallons. A 16 oz bottle treats 960 gallons of freshwater or 4,730 gallons of pond water. The 4 oz bottle treats 240 gallons. Dosing should be repeated every 24 hours after a 1/3 water change.

Q: How long does it take to treat fish with Ich-X?

A: Continue daily treatments until 3 consecutive days pass with no visible symptoms. Each treatment cycle requires a 1/3 water change followed by re-dosing. Most aquarists see improvement within the first week, but the full 3-day symptom-free period is required to ensure complete eradication.

Q: Is Aquarium Solutions Ich-X safe for plants and invertebrates?

A: Yes. According to the product documentation, this medication is both plant safe and invertebrate safe. The store uses it alongside plants, scaleless fish, and invertebrates without problems. However, remove chemical filtration (activated carbon, Seachem Purigen, phosphate media) before dosing, as these can interfere with the medication's effectiveness.

Q: What does Aquarium Solutions Ich-X treat?

A: This medication effectively treats Ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis), Velvet/Gold Dust Disease, Cotton Wool Disease (Saproleniasis), Trichondiniasis, and various fungal and protozoan-caused diseases. It's also effective against mild fungal infections. The formula is widely used by aquarium professionals for treating newly imported fish.

Q: What's the price for different sizes of Ich-X?

A: The 4 oz bottle costs $6.99 and treats 240 gallons. The 16 oz bottle is $15.99 and treats 960 gallons (freshwater) or 4,730 gallons (ponds). The larger 16 oz size offers better value for established aquarium treatments and emergency pond care situations.

Q: Should I use an airstone while treating with Ich-X?

A: Yes. The product documentation recommends using an airstone in the aquarium when treating with Ich-X. This improves water circulation and oxygenation, which supports fish health during the treatment period. Additionally, remove chemical filtration like activated carbon before dosing, as it will absorb the medication.

Q: Can Ich-X be used in marine aquariums?

A: Yes. While formulated for freshwater aquariums (1 teaspoon per 10 gallons), the product can be used in marine systems using pond dosing rates (1 teaspoon per 50 gallons). This lower concentration is appropriate for saltwater-sensitive species and helps prevent overdosing in marine environments.
