Diections:
Dosing in Water:
Remove all invertebrates - these are extremely sensitive to medication. Turn off UV filters, ozone filters, and remove chemical filtration like MatrixCarbon™ and Purigen®. Use 1-2 measures (included) per every 40 L (10 US gallons). Repeat this dose every 48 hours for up to 3 weeks or until symptoms disappear.
Dosing in Food:
Feed the medicated food mix (recipe below) every day until the infection clears or up to 3 weeks. This medicated food can be refrigerated or frozen between feedings.
- 1 scoop MetroPlex
- 1 scoop Focus™
- 1 tbsp food (preferably pellets or frozen food)
- A few drops of water if using a dry food
To enhance palatability use with GarlicGuard™ or Entice™.
After Treating
When the treatment period is over, MetroPlex™ can easily be removed using activated filter carbon like MatrixCarbon™. It does not linger in the substrate or filter media of the tank.
Can I use KanaPlex™ and MetroPlex™ at the same time?
A: Yes, to use MetroPlex™ in conjunction with Kanaplex™, I recommend you mix it with food (preferably frozen) using our Focus™. Focus™ is a binding agent that will ensure little medication, if any, is lost in your water column so all medication will be delivered directly to the fish when eaten.
