Aqua-Pics Medicating Salts 500g — Phosphate-free salt support for fish recovering from disease, injury or parasites

A fish under treatment for disease, injury or a parasite such as white spot often benefits from extra salinity alongside the medication itself, rather than from medication on its own. Aqua-Pics Medicating Salts 500g (SKU: 101625) is Aqua-Pics’ phosphate-free medicating salt, raised salinity support used in conjunction with appropriate medications to help fish heal and to reduce the risk of secondary infection while they do. It is not a stand-alone medication and is directed to be used alongside whatever treatment the fish is actually being given for its condition.

Aqua-Pics gives two directions depending on how it is used: 125 g per 100 L for ongoing treatment in the aquarium itself, or a stronger 125 g per 5 L for a short salt bath outside the main tank. At the tank-treatment rate, the 500 g pack covers about 400 L in a single application; at the salt-bath rate it mixes roughly 20 L, enough for several short dips in a bucket or hospital container rather than dosing a whole display. As with any added-salt treatment, scaleless and salt-sensitive species, along with live plants and many invertebrates, tolerate the higher salt-bath concentration poorly, so it suits a separate treatment container rather than a mixed community display.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Disease or infection recovery: Fish being treated for an identified illness alongside medication.
• Injury support: Physical wounds where added salinity aids healing.
• Parasite treatment: Conditions such as white spot, used with the relevant medication.
• Short salt baths: A separate, stronger dip rather than dosing the main tank.

Dosing & Administration Guide

• Tank treatment rate: 125 g per 100 L, dosed into the aquarium with medication.
• Salt bath rate: 125 g per 5 L for a short, separate dip.
• Always pair with medication: Use alongside the appropriate treatment, not as a substitute for it.
• Isolate sensitive stock: Treat scaleless fish, invertebrates and plants with caution or in a separate container.
