Hydroplex - dip for new marine livestock & plants (480ml)

What is HydroPlex™?

HydroPlex™ is a scientifically developed copper free, antibiotic free, broad spectrum water treatment that is effective for the control of parasites and microscopic organisms found in aquaria and ornamental ponds including bacteria, ciliated protozoa, dinoflagellates, copepods, small [platy]helmenthics and annelids, molds, fungi, yeast and microalgae. HydroPlex™ is also proven to be effective for the elimination of brown slime due to diatoms, as well as for the control of viral diseases. It is especially effective, and strongly, recommended, in a dip regimen for cleansing new arrivals of unwanted parasites and bacteria, especialy if a quarantine tank regimen is not practical. It is very effective for treating diseased fish via a dip regimen or in hospital tanks.

Important Notes
DO NOT USE  HydroPlex™  with amphibians or cephalopods.
HydroPlex™   is effective for the treatment of Vibrio infections in cephalopods; however, cephalopods may display symptoms of distress and should be closely monitored during treatment.
HydroPlex™  is NOT REEF SAFE and is NOT recommended for use in other established aquariabecause it may compromise biological filtration.
Corals should be closed and polyps should be fully retracted prior to exposure to dip strength HydroPlex™.  Some corals display symptoms of distress when exposed (with polyps extended) for long periods (1 – 3 days) to hospital strength  HydroPlex.™ Open corals should be closely monitored during treatment.
 

Instructions for Use of HydroPlex™

CONCENTRATED DIPS:  1.0 Ounce/Quart for 10 Minutes

An effective barrier against the transmission and propagation of parasites borne on new arrivals;
A water treatment strategy that rapidly quenches external infections of bacterial, fungal or other parasitic origin.
When HydroPlex™ is used at either dip or hospital tank strength (see below) it rapidly penetrates the mucous coat and gill tissues of fish.  Ciliated and flagellated protozoa thus exposed suffer irreversible effects upon contact.  Similarly, when used at dip strength, HydroPlex™ neutralizes most bacteria, fungi, yeast, molds and microalgae within 5 - 10 minutes.

Therefore, HydroPlex™ dips should always be used to control transmission and propagation of parasites and microbes on new arrivals including fish, crustaceans, snails and plants.  Dip experiments with corals and other potentially sensitive species are in progress (see Test Results).
