In particular, these parasites have an \"attached\" stage (trophonts), a \"matured\" stage (protomonts), a \"reproductive\" stage (tomonts), and a \"free-swimming\" stage (theronts\/dinospores). Most available treatments do not target the free-swimming stage of the parasite which is one of the primary difficulties in dealing with these infections.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Research with ciliated protozoans has shown that the \"free-swimming\" stage of these parasites have remarkably consistent hatching times. We have engineered our product to be most efficient during this stage.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Our conditioner targets the trophont stage of the parasite but is also disrupting the life cycle during the \"free-swimming\" stage. Thus, when using Medic, hobbyists should try to maintain the highest concentration of the medication during this \"free-swimming\" timeframe - when the oxidative component in the medication is particularly effective against theronts\/dinospores.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Active Ingredients: Crystallized Peroxide Salts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ch2\u003eDirections:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e     \u003cli\u003eUse one level scoop of Medic for every 190 litres of your system volume twice per day.\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eDose once in the morning (Before 10am if possible).\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eDose once in the evening (After 10pm if possible).\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eContinue to dose for 10 days.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e Note: Ozone and carbon must not be used during the treatment.

This is merely part of the natural cycle of the parasite and you must continue dosing the product for the entire course (10 days) to be maximally effective.\u003cbr\u003e After treatment is complete, run granular activated carbon for 2 or 3 days.\u003cbr\u003e Store product in a cool and dry location, away from direct sunlight.","brand":"PolypLab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54934555656531,"sku":"1015102","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1076\/9324\/4755\/files\/orquvpsev3m_05bfdae3-a7b2-4f2b-87a3-082e6ea45fa9.jpg?v=1789332470","url":"https:\/\/progradewarehouse.com\/products\/polyp-lab-medic-30ml-1015102","provider":"PRO GRADE WAREHOUSE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
