Chloroquine phosphate

[yazeed]

is it the magical medication,I road a lot about using it in fish only with live rock and its safe.

 

[Reefing Madness]

I would not use that stuff, its not magical, and it does affect some fish. I believe that Quinine Sulfate is a better alternative.
Marine Ich, Cryptocaryon Irritans

But any medication with sulfat I think its not safe!!!

 

[Reefing Madness]

Ok.

 

[jduck]

Quinine sulphate is a multi dose treatment

Chloroquine phosphate is a one time dose and done

It's not magical or anything, it's just a effective tool.

I know this was an old post in a revived thread, but the sulfate comment is not correct.

Sulfate is the third most abundant ion in seawater, at 2,700 ppm. Adding a bit more is never any concern, so do not avoid medications or additives because they contain sulfate.

An employee at or local public aquarium told me 2 years ago that they use CP for disease management. I have been using ever since. I use 24/7 on my quarantine and hospital tanks. I once did a 5 month test on one of my FOWLR display tanks and had no ill effect on tangs, angelfishes, clownfishes, dottybacks and a coris wrasse.

I collect a lot of clownfishes and sometimes they come in it ich, velvet or brook. I use to use copper, but by the time I discover they have brook... it's too late and they end up dying. Copper has no effect on brook and it is a fast destructive disease.

Now I treat all fishes in quarantine with CP for 3 months... whether there is any signs or disease or not.
