Aqua-pics Medicating Salts 250g — Standard-size salt support for fish recovering from illness or injury

When fish are already dealing with disease, a bacterial infection, physical damage or parasites such as white spot, raising the water’s salinity a little is a simple way to ease some of the physiological load while treatment addresses the underlying problem. Aqua-pics Medicating Salts 250g (SKU: 101624) is Aqua-Pics’ phosphate-free medicating salt, used to help prevent the secondary infections that commonly follow disease, injury or parasite damage and to support the fish’s own healing process. It is a supportive addition rather than a treatment on its own, and Aqua-Pics’ directions call for it to be used in conjunction with whatever medication actually targets the illness. The 250 g pack is the standard retail size, enough for more than one treatment round in a typical hospital or quarantine tank.

The tank-treatment rate is 125 g per 100 L added directly to the aquarium when needed, which a 250 g pack covers for about 200 L in a single application, or two separate 100 L treatments from one pack. For a more concentrated salt bath, 125 g dissolved in 5 L of aquarium water in a separate container gives a short, stronger dip rather than a full tank dose, and 250 g makes two baths of that strength. The phosphate-free formula means repeated dosing during a longer illness does not add to the tank’s phosphate load on top of everything else the fish and biofilter are already dealing with. The product also comes as a 150 g trial pack and a 500 g pack, and Aqua-Pics’ related “Medicating” line extends to 4.5 kg and 10 kg bulk sizes.

Usage & Application
