Dose at the rate of one teaspoon (5 mL.) for each 20 gallons (76 L.) of water, or one fluid ounce per 120 gallons (454 L.). Prior to the initial use of MICROBE-LIFT/Ich-Out a partial water change of 20% or more should be made; this water change should be coordinated with the period when the diseased fish are showing the least number of cysts (spots). Carbon filtration must be removed during treatment.

(CAUTION: Do not stop other filtration.) Treatments may be repeated, following the recommended water change, at least every 24 hours. As with the initial dosage of MICROBE-LIFT/Ich-Out the best results can be expected if the water change and dosage are performed when the diseased fish are showing the fewest cysts (spots). Treatment in a separate quarantine (Q/T) tank is strongly recommended.


For increased effectiveness, combine with MICROBE-LIFT Protectant or Restore.
