Method of use
Use one level measure of the included spoon (1 gram) for every 10 gallons (40 liters) of aquarium water. Leave it for 24 hours then change 70-100% of the water and repeat the treatment. It is preferable to mix the powder well with some aquarium water in an external container then distribute it evenly over the water or pour it in a high flow area (ex: pump return). Prior to the treatment, clean the filter and aquarium and maintain the filtration and aeration. We advise to add 1g/L salt along with Bactocide 1 when used during quarantine process for new fish. Repeat the treatment for a total of three times. Extend the treatment up to 10 days in case of severe infections. Do not stop the treatment on the first signs of recovery to avoid re-infection, continue the treatment to at least six days.
Professional use (follow on your own responsibility): You can extend treatment period to 48 hours per dose; however it is your responsibility to make sure ammonia and organic waste in aquarium (filter, substrate …etc.) is under control. In this case you must stop feeding and use a product that will bind to ammonia and neutralize up to 1ppm ammonia.
Precaution
Store in a cool dry place, away from children reach. For use on ornamental fish only, not intended for use on fish for human consumption. Bactocide will have an impact on the bio-filter, therefore; it is preferable to use it in a hospital tank instead, except if you are dealing with a plague then the treatment should be in the main tank for all fish with filters running. All tools, nets and hoses should be disinfected. Well-established filters will not lose all its capacity.
