A reef safe water treatment that controls "Ich" by disrupting the life cycle of C. irritans (marine) or I. multifiliis (freshwater). Does not contain copper.

KICK-ICH™ is a scientifically developed water treatment, which was proven effective during two years of national test marketing, for stopping C. irritans and I. multifiliis infections. The KICK-ICH™ formulation is specifically designed to interrupt the free swimming stage (i.e., the “tomite” stage) of their life cycles, thereby stopping progressive infection and reinfection, without use of copper, malachite green, hyper-irritants or other chemicals that are toxic to many aquarium inhabitants. In addition, KICK-ICH™ does not affect nitrifying bacteria (e.g., Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter) and is biodegradable.

The HydroPlex water treatment contains a number of ingredients that have been approved by the Unites States Food and Drug Administration for over the counter sales.

These ingredients include preservatives used for eye makeup, lipstick, lotions, etc., as well as antibacterials used in handsoaps and shampoos (e.g. for dandruff). HydroPlex also includes compounds effective for the control of yeast and fungal (e.g. athletes foot) problems.
