Just read it. Interesting. I wonder why you can't use them? He recommends ich-x as one of the best meds. I have also use kordon rid ich plus, as it's basically the same formula as ich-x. But I didn't know about the water conditioner issue. I guess you have to use ro/di water for changes..???

Not sure. I'm reading more as he has added a LOT of new information these past few months... tons. I guess we should watch out for folks who use Prime/Safe (dithionite) with a formalin based medication in it. At least API Tap Water Conditioner is just Thiosulfate, which is good.

I looked through a ton of articles. Nearest I can figure is the formalin keeps the sodium thiosulfate from working

Yeah, I can't really tell what the issue is. Maybe we'll find it

Well heck... this ain't good...

What is formalin use?

When dissolved in water it is called formalin, which is commonly used as an industrial disinfectant, and as a preservative in funeral homes and medical labs. It can also be used as a preservative in some foods and in products, such as antiseptics, medicines, and cosmetics.

Yeah, it's in the ich meds he recommended too. It dries out the parasite i think
