New life spectrum ick shield chemistry

Randy, have you or could you help me see what makes this stuff good? I started the dose last night, but if you have time, could you break down the ingredients for me? I have enough to send you a sample if needed. Just wanted to see its likeness to CP (chloroquine phosphate). Thanks

According to online, the active ingredients are: 1,4-Pentanediamine, N4-(7-chloro-4-quinolinyl)-N1, N1-diethyl

So @Randy Holmes-Farley correct me if I'm wrong, but that should equate to Chloroquine Diphosphate?

IME; Chloroquine is very effective against marine external parasites but the trick is it needs to be 99% pure in order for results to be consistent. What we need is for a chemist to test out a sample of this NLS Ick Shield stuff to see what percentage of CP it contains.

Yes, 1,4-Pentanediamine, N4-(7-chloro-4-quinolinyl)-N1, N1-diethyl is chloroquine and the product contains some form of chloroquine, although it doesn't specify the phosphate salt.

So is there anyway we could talk you into testing the purity of this product for us?

If someone sent you a sample?
