Hikari Ich-X SW is a ready-to-use treatment designed for marine aquariums dealing with protozoan infections such as marine ich and velvet. This non-staining formula has been tested across various saltwater environments and provides an effective treatment option when used as directed.

Formulated with a proven active ingredient, it targets common external parasites and can also help control certain fungal issues. It is suitable for use in quarantine or treatment systems where controlled dosing and monitoring are possible.

Why Choose Hikari Ich-X SW?

  • Targets Marine Ich: Designed to treat Cryptocaryoniasis (marine ich) and marine velvet (Amyloodinium).
  • Protozoan Control: Effective against a range of protozoan-related infections.
  • Fungal Support: Helps control common external fungal issues.
  • Ready to Use: No mixing required, simple dosing for consistent results.
  • Non-Staining Formula: Will not discolor water when used as directed.
  • Flexible Use: Can be used in full system treatments or short-term dip applications.

Dosing Instructions

Standard Treatment:

  • Use 1 teaspoon (5 mL) per 10 gallons (38 L) of actual system water.
  • Perform at least a 1/3 water change before each dose.
  • Repeat every 24 hours, or as frequently as every 8 hours for accelerated treatment.
  • Continue treatment for at least 3 days after all visible signs disappear.
  • Always add aeration during treatment.

Dip Treatment:

  • Use 2 teaspoons (10 mL) per gallon of water.
  • Expose fish for approximately 30 minutes.

Best Practices:

  • Treat in a separate quarantine or treatment tank whenever possible.
  • Remove activated carbon from filters during treatment.
