Dears,
i have purchased a few quantities of your products to test in some of our aquariums, and the result were satisfactory.
Michel P.
Just into 10 days of treatment, got 10 more to go,but the results are amazing,just had one fish sick ,out of 12 fish and totally clear him up,but I will do 10 mores days to finish treatment
Michael J.
I had marine velvet for 5 days before I got this product I lost 4 fish but my sailfin tang survived and looks 10× better since I used polyp lab my corals are not dead and it took about 3 days so try to catch it as soon as possible
Cherie S.
When I bought my blue hippo tang, she intriduced ich into my tank. I was terrified I would lose everything. I found medic online and combined use with metroplex and turned my temp up to 82 while dosing to speed up the process. I also ran my UV as instructed. After the 10 days it appears to be gone! My corals look a little sad but are getting better after a water change. Also only lost my emerald crabs. This is due to heat! Thanks!
Tony A.
Fixed my problem quickly without taking out all my creepy crawlers. Definitely worth the money!
Patricia N.
Purchased this because my purple rang has some white spots and signs of scraping. Wanted something to use in 75 mix reef, using max dose nothing has died, tang is looking better.. 4 days in.. will see if it works.
Lana T.
Made my fish survive for a long time till i was able to set up QT tank big enough for all of them
David G.
I added several Tangs to my 180 that already had several tangs established. The tank been running for five years. Even though the lfs isolated in quarantine for five weeks under copper I had a small ick outbreak. Was on the lookout for it since I had some fish that are ick magnets. I started the Medic treatment. Within a few days no more spots. Continued treatment for 14 days and ick free with no losses of fish.
Donald W.
I tried Paraguard first, and the ich didn't get worse, but it didn't get better. My powder blue tang was taking the brunt of the infestation and my reef would pay a price trying to get those fish out. So, with good all around parameters and stable heat, I gave this a shot. Following the dosing quantities and dosing before 10:00 AM and after 10:00 PM, I'm at day 12 and I no longer see any parasites on any fish! Powder blue is healthy and eating everything now, healing up with the cleaner wrasse no longer chasing him for skin snacks, and I didn't lose one coral nor anenome. Seriously! I'm going to continue for 8 more days and then compete a small water change and bring in the carbon.
So far, this is looking like a game changer for reef tanks. Well done!
I run a mixed reef with SPS, LPS, sensitive euphyllia, lots of invertebrates, and 3 anenome.
Cathe R.
We were chasing an infection we thought was Ich, but suspect was velvet. We thought we had it beat,, but if course, we were wrong. We are new to the hobby. No QT, and more coral and inverts than fish. Anything strong enough to quickly wipe out the infection was going to kill the inverts and/or coral.
We lost 3 fish, but it could have been much worse. Within 24 hours, Medic started working to heal two very sick fish. The we have a 160g DT and the dosing amount is so small, it's hard to believe it'll work, but boy, does it ever!!
Lessons learned: set up a QT and always have Polylabs Medic on hand.
Charles P.
Ich, the pest from hell. Added Medic as describe waiting for results, will update with progress.
Sharon W.
I had been fighting ick for 7 weeks. I tried several different things. After reading about PolypLab Medic I ordered it, figured I would give it a try. Within 5 days I saw improvement on my blue tang. Almost at the 10 days straight and no sign of ick since I started treatment with medic.
Sharon W.
Will purchase the Medic again
ROHAN B.
I can't really give it 5 stars because i think it was too late for me by the time I got this product delivered because have already lose most of my fish. However, I like that I was able to use it in my 210 reef. Trying to catch fish in a reef tank is extremely difficult and the short time I use this, I didn't see my corals reacting badly. I will keep a bottle on ✋
Evan C.
Noticed my flame angel had some spots. Quickly ordered the medic ! It came quickly easy mess free application. Dosed the tank as advised spots went away quickly ! Worked better than advertised !
Cristobal H.
Great medication I give them 10 +
John W.
Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to try the product because my fish died before it arrived. But I did treat the tank before placing new fish in the tank, and so far no problems have been observed with the new fish.
Charles L.
I noticed that one of my angel fish seemed to have ich. I have no clue where it came from because I have not added any fish at all for over a year. I quarantined the fish and treated it successfully. While doing this, I needed something to treat the tank as well. I have lobsters and a prized mantis shrimp as well as many other inverts. I used medic for the tank. I followed the instructions, dosing the tank at 11:30pm and again at 5:30am. I used the maximum dose of 3 scoops for my 55gal. I did this for 28 days.
I'm very happy with the results. It has been 9 days since the last dose and none of my other fish have shown any symptoms at all. Medic seems to have saved me from having to quarantine all of my fish for many weeks while the ich dies off in the tank. Follow the instructions carefully and Medic can help you too.
Toni H.
We are on day 13 on our 100 gallon mixed reef. Our ich magnet broke out with ich and Medic was recommended. Everyone is doing great! Customer service is top notch!
Richard R.
Ich broke out in a 250g tank with a lot of rock .
So... we couldn't get any fish out to a quarantine tank.
We searched and questioned any and all products.
yours was the best. Following directions, all of the livestock lost the spots and started eating and being fish again.
Amazing , and thanks for medic.
RR
OSWALDO S.
Been using Medic for about 10 days now, following the directions, in conjunction with a UV sterilizer and so far, i have not seen any white dots on my fish, and the ones that had it recover, i will continue to dose for the next 10 to make sure its all gone.
Thomas M.
Have used Medic multiple times over the years in my reef when fish show early signs of ice. It has always taken care of the problem and not affected any corals or inverts. Highly recommend!
Daniel M.
Had an ich outbreak in DT, too many fish to catch. Both purple tangs were covered, scopas was covered, everybody else was looking bad too, good thing was they still had great appetites. Started dosing medic, you have to be religiously treating, after lights go out and before lights come on, I'm doing at 9pm, 8am.
3 scoops per 50gal (we have a 250gal, so X's 5, 15 scoops, I basically fill the cap of the bottle). I mix with about half cup of water until dissolved and pour into the wave makers and into the sump. We also have UV, that needs to be turned off before dose and left off for a couple hours. Long story, it works. All the fish look great and all our frog spawn, hammers, toads, mushrooms, acaans, blasto, leathers are un affected. People have mixed feelings, I think you need to just be diligent. We do 25% water change every 2 weeks, change out socks weekly. We will continue to use this product.
hans l.
The blue tang was covered with dust of ich prior to treatment. Took about 10 days until it cleared. All corals sps, lps and soft are safe from treatment. Dose was doubled, 2 spoons/50G.
Roberto F.
This product slowly reduced ich in my tank and after three weeks, I could not find any white spots on the fish.
Daniel H.
I was looking for a reef safe product to help control the ich in my fish tank and medic got the job done. Thank you, highly recommend
virginia b.
I've never had any medication/compound that actually cured fish of ich. This did.
Chris B.
Used to treat tank. Follow the directions and it helped beating back ich/infection.
Robert V.
Was not sure of reef safe meds but it seems to be working
Marc L.
Great product And work excellent
Weerasarut L.
not sure if I use it right, but i think i have serious problem with my tank so I put 3 levels scoop per 200L as direction, however it impact to my fishes. Some fishes, the skin turned white and peel-off, end up died. so now, I changed the water in my tank and put 1 scoop and it seems better. Sad that my fished died, but I will look forward for the coming result (3 more days to meet 10 days).
Dwayne A.
Great product works very well
Gabriella O.
Great product can’t wait to see how it works. Love the packaging. Just don’t be an idiot like me and drop the bottle immediately after opening the box and break it. Whoops! I was able to save all the medicine. Clear instructions and tank is looking great so far.
Michael S.
Product seems to be working.. not sure as I am still dosing.
Tony C.
After 4 or 5 days the ick is gone from my quarantined six-line wrasse. I’ll keep to the 10 days minimum dosage to make sure. Looks great! Thanks
GIOVANI C.
Just in few days was clear without ick
Austin S.
Completely cured ich in my 75gal saltwater tank! Shows signs of significant improvement within just a couple days! My corals are still healthy and didnt bother them a bit. Definitely will be buying from here for all of my tank needs! Thanks guys!
Mark P.
Product seems to be working killing parasites in tank won't know for a few more weeks . Also did not hurt invertebrates, good product, thank you.
Kenny L.
I lost 80% of my 220 gallon tank a year ago due to a fish that was supposed to have been quarantined before purchase. Ick took out many of my fish. As told by many, you must remove All fish and let the tank sit empty for 45-60 days for the Ick to die off. Due to our structure, 2 fish were impossible to remove. They show no signs but we knew they still could be carriers. After treating the remaining fish, they were introduced after 60 days. All seem well until the Ick reappeared. I found Reef Medic and figured I had nothing to lose. The first treatment seemed to knock it down but a month later it came back. I tried again with a stronger dose, about the same results. The third time I hit it pretty hard and BOOM. The fish look great, colors came back and no sign of the Ick. All corals are doing great so there was no effect on them. I am really happy to have a healthy tank again.
Jean-francois F.
Best product for reefing!!!
Best first aid for fish!!!
Frank N.
Great product. It helped me stop the ich infection in my tank. Though I lost a fish, it was already late for treatment to work on it, the rest is doing great.
James G.
I had an ich outbreak that took my koran angel and porcupine puffer, that was the only fish i had our 125. Pretty sure i got it from some water out of a bag of crabs that got into the tank. I left my tank empty for 76 days. I just put a SailFin and a Sweetlips into the tank. Knowing that tangs are the worse for getting ich, I got a bottle of Poly Meds that was on the shelf. The store owner had told me he used it with great luck in one of his frag tanks with his tangs and no damage to fish or his thousands of dollars worth of corals. 2nd day i had the fish i saw a couple of spots.. Called and he said they was clean when he got them but to be safe he had been treating his tanks. Started dosing that morning, today is the 2nd day of dosing and already all spots are gone. Going to treat the whole 20 days to be safe. Also have ordered me a UV light since it seems most comments on here the people that have had the best luck with it have them... Will update when treatment is done.
ALBERT D.
My blue tang fox face and convict tang got ich. I treated for 20 days and blue tang and fox face are still alive and no ich. Convict tang didn't make it.
nick k.
complete wast of money, followed instruction fully, did not help at all, infact I think it made it worse, wont buy again, and warn others not to, all good reviews I think are done by polyp lab, so many people say it is a wast of time money and effort
Matt R.
Medic twice a day combined with a UV sterilizer (off for an hour during dosing medic) I have a 100% survival rate against ick.
Mohammad A.
The best thing to cure your fishes while you have corals
Rick N.
Had a juvenile emperor angel that got a very small amount of ich in its fins. Immediately started using this and on day 5 all spots are gone. I fully understand the life cycle of ich so time will tell if this works. I plan on doing the 20 day treatment to play it safe. This is in combination with 3 cleaner shrimp and a uv sterilizer so hard to tell if it's actually truly working as described. My snails shrimp and starfish are all thriving so it defiantly don't bother them.
Philip M.
Definitely helped out my tang and clowns that got ich
Philip M.
I was extremely skeptical at first, but after trying Medic my fish all started to eat more and are no longer covered in ich. Made a few of my corals and anemones upset, but didn't adversely affect them at all.
Alejandro M.
Seems to be working. Pellets damage coral they land on so dosing product into sump is recommended.
Jared F.
Works well in my system, I wish the bottle was bigger.
Robert F.
Medic is the only thing I have found to work.
Mark C.
Best product I have tried to date....you can see the fizzing action taking out the flagellates.
Thomas T.
I ended up getting ick in my 120 gallon tank after bringing home a hippo tang. My hippo started showing the white spots four days after putting him in the tank and shortly after that my yellow tang and foxface started showing the ick spots. I started dosing the Medic and after five days the white spots disappeared. So I dosed for 5 more days and I haven’t hade any signs of ick for over a month. I dosed three scoops twice a day according to instructions. Worked great!
Kenneth P.
After dosing for only 24 hours I saw a significant improvement in my fish. This product is legit!
Noah K.
Medic seems to be helping my marine velvet outbreak in my reef tank. Prior to dosing $650 worth of beautiful fish died but this seems to be helping my last 3 fish. Never get a powder blue tang even with quarantine it is not a fish for an aquarium and should be left in the wild.
Aracelis P.
Used this product yrs ago and brought most of my fish back from being almost dead from marine velvet. Medic cured my fish and they got fat, happy and healthy for over 2yrs but I got rid of 2 fish just recently due to the size they ended up in a show tank but unfortunately I introduced new fish in my display they were fine and then I had transferred some fish that were in a new tank that was still cycling... into my display because they were stressed next thing you know a copperband fish that was in my tank for only a few mins got stressed and broke out with ick so luckily I had some Polylab Medic available.
Don't know what I'd do without this product. Thank God I had some in reserve when I introduced new fish into my tank after 2yrs. I'm planning to quarantine to avoid using anything but if you need to this is the safest with a reeftank.
Rose H.
Ich is still in my tank
Henry O.
Its only been 4days since I started treatment. It looks like its working because there is no longer any visible signs of parasites. The fish are eating well and have stopped scratching. It has not hurt corals in any way. Looks good so far
Howard K.
I have used this product twice and it has definitely worked for me on my reef aquarium, didn’t have any adverse effects.
Corey P.
not sure if this truly works or not. the situation turned out to be velvet.
Yong H.
Not really effective against the ich problem after 10 days of strictly following the instructions according my needs. Not COMPLETELY reef safe! It bleached my anemone and zoanthids. Reef safe for invertebrates and corals with skeleton but not on softies and anemone.
Heather H.
Fast delivery. I haven’t lost anymore fish since I started the treatment.
Sunny K.
I tried other products to solve the ick issue on my 130gallon reef tank, none worked other than Medic. I dosed it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, I diluted Medic in saltwater until completely dissolved, turned my UV sterilizer and my protein slimmer off and dosed it, worked extremely well and saw ick disappear within 3 days, kept dosing it for 10 days while turning on the UV sterilizer only at night until the next dose.
Igor A.
Ich is a serious parasite that once infests your aquarium hell brake loose! So after 2 or 3 episodes of ich in a decade and loosing into the thousand+ dollars when it decimated my fished (sometimes by 70%), I learned my lesson.
When I noticed that my Majestic Angelfish had Ich, I decided to try Medic but didn't take any chance: I went for the higher doses immediately (3 scoops p/50gls). Having a 150 gls aquarium the bottle lasted only 10 days.
Within 3 days there were no signs of Ich and by the end of the 10 days all seemed fine (and I've already ordered 2 more bottles for the future).
I'm happy for this medication. My corals seems fine as well as my shrimps and snails.
I recommend it 100%. Money totally worthy... and save me the aggravation of a difficult chase of the sick fish to quarantine it
Benjamin C.
Short story long I have lost 15 fish and counting. It does not seem to be working unfortunately
Katie Q.
Well, I can't speak to its efficacy in treating the ich, but I can speak to it being totally reef safe: I have dosed twice now (last night and this morning) and just found my fire shrimp dead (it's noon). So, like 12 hours into a ten-day regimen and I have already lost my favorite shrimp. Use with caution!
Alex R.
This seemed to knock of some of the ICH on my trigger. But 16 days into dosing and it seems to be coming back.... Did not harm corals though.
andy j.
I am not sure it did anything at all, heavy infection of ICK on most fish, treatment for approx. 2 weeks, lost 40 % of the fish !!! Not sure the medication did anything at all ????
Stacey R.
Ordered this to treat our damsel tank. Some of the fish we ordered arrived so small and extremely stressed. Have been using this for 6 days now and have only lost 2 fish. Both of them so small they should never have been sold. They we're the worst out of the 20 or so we ordered. Everyone else is happy and healthy. I can say it is reef safe and seem to be helping them even if it is just so there immune system can recover.
Intarasak H.
I have used Medic for several years when my tank had Ich. Excellents product. Now I try to keep new fish in nursery tank with copper 1 month to kill parasite .
Mical C.
Had a powder brown tang starting to show signs of ich so I purchased medic and foolowed the 10 day process. Well IMO it made the condition worse. The tang showed signs before and we gave it Nori w/garlic and it vanished for months. (I'm aware of the Ich life cycle so yes it could've been coincidence) But I won't slam this product but it didn't work for me and we lost the tang
Damion H.
This product is a complete waste of time!!!!!! And is certainly not worth the money they are asking for it !! I don’t know why people have been successful using this as I have tried this product on 4 different occasions and it has never worked using the full dose. Companies like this , when asking for such a high price should guarantee results!!! But instead you are given a spin off of a product that may or may not work and that is bad business!! Especially in a hobby that is as a expensive as marine , I would never recommend this product to anyone and would always suggest a QT tank , the hassle of getting one set up is much less hassle than losing 80% of your livestock for putting trust in a product like poly lab medic , it doesn’t work and probably never will !
Michael G.
Dory is invincible now.
Darrell B.
paid extra for the shipping and still got it late. said I would get refund on shipping still no refund.
Cjuck C.
The fish are doing fine again. There color has come back........ So great full.......
Ronnie B.
Did not work. Had to finally tear down my tank to catch all my fish. By then I still lost my Naso Tang and Wrasse. If you have ick or other parasite just do the only way to fix it and separate your fish and medicate with copper. My display tank is fishless and all fish are under going treatment with no further issues. Every fish store and the local public aquarium told me it was a gimmick and it would never be strong enough to be "reef safe" but I had to try it on my own. Got burned and cost me $37.89...
Payton H.
The Polyplab Medic works wonders. I followed the instructions to a T. Never bothered and Corals or Inverts in my tank. All fish are doing great. its been 16 days since I have used the product and everything is looking great. Will use this product again and recommend to others.
dat t.
It works very well. The key is treating your fish as soon as you bring it home. I lost a few fish due to slow shipping. The rest are healthy now. No corals or invertebrates died during and after the treatment. I dosed for 10 consecutive days.
juan Andrés B.
I follow the instructions, and It did not work!, also got red cyano after..!
Tom A.
I will update as I move through this process. ...been 14 days...lost one Kole tang so far...the purple and powder blue tangs have shown “marginal” improvement to this point. Using triple dosage amounts twice a day...
...more to follow
Brittany H.
I lost all my fish due to ich so I bought this product to keep on hand for the future. It was recommended by a friend and also had so amazing reviews online. When I opened the package I thought it didn’t come with a scoop so I emailed customer service and they responded promptly and said they would send one out asap; however I found the scoop on my stairs later. The customer service was great though. I’m highly satisfied. :)
Timothy R.
Didn't work for me. My fish got worse. Expecting losses pretty soon.
Noel L.
This product is simple to use and I've seen on adverse affects on my reef. I haven't seen any new spots on my fish and my clown fish is showing no signs of stress.
Noel
Behnam
Best of the best, specially if dissolved before adding.
Nick r.
The only product I would use in a reef system
Matt E.
The key to this product is catch the symptoms early. If you hesitate using this product even a few days. Something with perish and other people blame this product that it doesn’t work. That’s simply not true. Use the product without hesitation. If you think there is a problem there probably is. I have used this product three times in 18 months and it worked every time. No problem. Run the full ten days before and after the lights go out and just keep using it and things will be fine. Never lost an SPS coral because of it.
180 gallon SPS dominant
Crosshatch trigger
Zebra Tang
Joculator Angel
Gem Tang
This works. Use it and be patient.
Ed M.
Had an ich outbreak. This product helped tremendously in eradicating the day ich. So far, it hasn’t returned. I highly recommend this product!
Callum B.
I noticed 2 single white spots on my tang . And immediately ran to LFS and was reccomeded this product . After 20 days of intensive (full dosing) treatment I have seen no improvement at all . In fact the opposite . I used YouTube to find out more about the product as information is limited online . I had heard about people having great success and thought nothing of the hefty £35 I invested into protecting my livestock by buying ' the reef safe option . Firstly my yellow longhorn cowfish perished due to being overwhelmed by ick . Then 2 days later (today) my mimic tang has suffered the same fate . I will be adding carbon back into the tank to remove whatever it is I have placed in (polyp lab) and will be using hyposalinity or copper to treat the remaining fish (fuzzy dwarf lionfish, Volitans lionfish & cleaner wrasse)
Overall I feel like I have wasted my time and earnings on a product that is simply un-reliable .
Mike W.
I wish I had the same results as the other reviews, my dijardini tank got ich when my feeder failed and I turned to this product which I hear was the best. Unfortunently it took 17 days to clear my tank of ich and in doing so managed to completely wipe out my two rose anemone as well as all of my coral save 1 mushroom. Very disappointed in over several hundred dollars of coral loss. I would give 1 star except my dijardini survived and isnlooking healthy. Thanks, I guess...
Jeff W.
I'm terribly upset I started using the product and the itch spread like wildfire! Almost like the product was causing it! I read and followed all the directions. Ive lost, Jenny she went quick thank god! I have Sarah in the net in front of the filter outlet trying to keep her alive and I have sunny looks like he will be gone tomorrow! And other fish that had no sign of it now have it! I'm so sad! I am discontinuing use and will put my blue carbon back in and start dosing with fish slime. Please wish me luck! Very disappointed!
Ryan C.
So far medic as been great.Yellow tang had it the worse and I'm only on 4th day and most all of it is now gone.Finally a reef safe product that actually works can't wait to see the results after the 10 day cycle.
Carisa K.
When should I expect improvement? My tang is no better and now my angel has ICH.
marcus s.
By the second day of use the spots on my tangs was gone and the color of my blue dot grouper was back popping again and he was out and about like normal....... this stuff is awesome
Hernando R.
Im that kind of guy who strongly believes in no reef safe medication for reef, and for my surprise this product has worked wonders , did not experience any loss what so ever in corals and fishes are happier than ever. I dosed everyday between 10pm-12am 1 scoop for every 50 gallons, in my case 10 scoops for 500g. Then shut UV , then redosed another 10 scoops at 6am and turned on UV at 9am ....did this for 20 days and went thru 2 bottles ....it's been 28days and haven't seen no spots whatsoever ,, thank you polylab.
Aracelis Price
I just want to say before I discovered Polyplab Medic we had lost about 2k worth of fish in our tank so for those of u that think it's expensive I totally believe it's very reasonable considering the amount of money u could lose not to mention the aggravation n feeling scared not knowing if your investment is healthy it can be very scary. My husband & I were talking about the product and saying omg If we only knew about this product earlier how much money we could have saved but @ least we stopped spending on replacing fish because we found this wonderful product!!! Polyplab Medic is the best !!
Aracelis P.
I want everyone to know how great this product is. I already wrote my experiences on my 91g system Redsea now this reviw is for my 20 g nano. Ist I tried without a sterilizer on my 20g n it didn't work for me then I bought a $50 sterilizer for my 20g nano dosed the tank again for 20 days, when I was done I used carbon for 3 days waited about 2 weeks n introduced a new pair of clownfish, they r doing great , very healthy n happy . You have to follow the instructions !!! And I hate to say it but I strongly believe that u need a sterilizer n it WILL work. If this worked for me for Marine Velvet n believe me I know what marine velvet is it is not ick my fish in my big tank had all the symptoms also the only reason most of them made it was because I had a sterilizer n I finally tried Polyplab Medic!!! This stuff is excellent!! Like other in this hobby I have thousands of dollars invested I would Not recommend something that I truly don't believe in. I want EVERYONE TO KNOW IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS IF U DON'T QUARANTINE . On the negative side if u have pink palys corals in my experience they were the only coral that didn't tolerate the medication, but nothing is perfect sometimes there is little price to pay. I lost 4 of those everything else was perfect, inverts, starfish all doing great!!! In my big tank I've Never had healthier Salter fish they r absolutely beautiful n eat like pigs!
