Things You'll Need
- Super Ick
- Teaspoon
Instructions
Remove the activated carbon from your aquarium's filtration system, if it has any. The carbon will remove the medication from the water, counteracting its effect.
Raise the temperature of the water to 82 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature will increase the life cycle of the parasite, which will cause the medication to work more quickly.
Add 1 tsp. of Super Ick for every 5 gallons of water in the aquarium.
Repeat the dose after 48 hours. Wait another 48 hours and repeat again.
Perform a 25 percent water change using non-chlorinated water.
Install a new supply of activated carbon. Watch the fish for 48 hours for any signs of ich, velvet or other parasites, and repeat the medication process if needed.
