Salifert Stop Parasites

[Gouldian]

I was at Aquastar Yishun yesterday afternoon and chance upon the above product.

Tried searching for it in the net and landed on this article written by Sandy Cohen, a writer for FAMA.

Anyone have tried it? Please share.....

If it is true, we alot of us will be very happy!

As written in the article, Stop Parasites is actually a product from Chem Marin and is sold in Europe and Japan through Salifert.

I check in Reef Central Review and found the following review:

Also available at harlequin aquarium @ cavan road. They got the whole range of salifert products (from test kits to additives) if I did'nt remember wrongly.

Thanks Alfa,

Hope that someone will do a review soon. Seems like the review was done previously on the pepper based product not the current mentioned by Habib.

Any updates on the use of the Stuff?

No Casualty so far but periodically still see white spots on AT. I have double the dosage as recomeneded on label yesterday after 5 treatment.

But must say it is definitely cheaper alternative to Ruby Reef Kick Ich which to me is SUPER Expensive and yet does nothing.

Well for me, it did not completely stop white spots but controlled them to the bare minimum.

However, I recently ran out of it and was too busy to get another bottle. Guess what???? ICH ###### resurface and took my 2 x Kole and 1 x AT.

I am now still mourning the deaths. Only tang left is Purple Tang who is still struggling too, dunno when I will see it laying on the substrates.

All other fishes are healthy and without any signs of white spots except PT now.

So while you were dosing it, it controlled the ich outbreak?

It did control the outbreak but it did eradicate.

I still believe that Hypo will eradicate ich, but after hypo if you made a mistake of not QTing your new arrivals for 2weeks, you will still re-introduce ich into the tank again.

This is exactly what happened to me, after hypo, I let one fish into the tank without proper QT and a few days later, ich re-appear. That's is why I decided to try Salifert.
