Microbe-Lift Broad Spectrum Disease Treatment 32 oz (MPN BSDT32)

Microbe-Lift BSDT is a highly effective treatment for various fish diseases, such as those caused by Ichthyophithirius (Ich), Chilodonella, Costia, Oodinium, Trichodina, and fungal infections. It contains Malachite Green and Formalin, which work synergistically to provide a broad-spectrum treatment. Unlike other products, Microbe-Lift BSDT is safe to use in water temperatures as low as 50°F, making it suitable for early Spring and late Fall treatments. It is formulated with malachite green chloride, which is less toxic than the more commonly used oxalate salt. However, it is important to note that this treatment should not be used in combination with other medications. To use Microbe-Lift BSDT, a dosage of 3.5 oz. per 1,000 gallons of water should be added to the pond. Prior to the initial use and each of the three applications, it is recommended to perform at least a 20% water change. For maximum effectiveness, a nearly total water change (>90%) is advised. During treatment, carbon filtration must be removed and UV lights should be turned off. However, the bio-filter does not need to be bypassed. It is important not to overdose the treatment. The recommended treatment schedule is once a day for three consecutive days. After completing the treatment, it is recommended to use Microbe-Lift Sabbactisun and Parazoryne for ten days to expel any remaining parasites, bacteria, fungi, etc., and to support the healing process. Please note that the product cannot be shipped when temperatures are freezing.
