Have you had much success with that? I'm unfamiliar with the product.

I used it on 2 fish so far. My guy that sells fish uses it and there is a YouTube on it with great success. I’m using it bc it probably does something good and it’s more of a peace of mind . I do however believe it will not kill ich that’s living in the gills of a fish. Just other known parasites .

Melev’s reef used this for a year with no QT process with zero losses. It’s legit. I use it now with prazipro and a observation period.

That's awesome! I'm setting up my first tank and I was getting super stressed over how to build a decent QT on a budget. I will definitely be stocking up on that stuff.

Ya same here - QT was stressing me out and SS makes this more dummy proof. I can still medicate in the tank if I need to, but it saves me guesswork with using copper or CP. I still am getting CP if they still get sick in QT

One of the reasons I'm super thankful and spoiled to live 15 minutes from TSM. I know a lot of suppliers "treat" their fish by putting low copper levels or using hyposalinity in their holding systems, but TSM does a full blown quarantine/treatment of everything that comes in. It's very refreshing to see and well worth the extra few bucks it'll cost per fish.

Flukes for one. I used the blue life safety dip on the latest fish in QT. It was only fish in QT, QT was freshly setup, after 3 weeks in qt the fish broke out with flukes. So, I know for sure the safety stop doesn't work against flukes.

Interesting. Do you think adding a freshwater dip, say before or after the two step, would have been beneficial? I've read that a FW bath can be stressful on some fish, so I wonder if they'd need to recover in a "plain" QT before the 2 step could be applied.
