Orca Labs Res-q-med

Hi Guys. Today is day 12 and the white spot has really come back with a bang over the last couple of days! The tang is badly covered the spots; even worst than day one. The white spot has also spread to my Solar Boxfish. Not sure what is going on. I taken more pics to keep track.
Perhaps I should contact Orca and asked for some advise......
 
If used correctly it works brilliantly for WS and stops other parasites eggs from hatching, ending the life cycle. Unfortunately many other illnesses are misdiagnosed. RES-Q-MED will not cure bacterial infections for instance.

Just start using Res-Q-Med today. My new little blue tang I bought last weekend is covered with whitespot. I have him in my quarantine tank which contains some corals too.
Will update on the results.....

Hi,

a clearer pic is needed but it doesnt look like WS, but rather Lymphocystis

the secret to any treatment is correct diagnosis, and making sure the environmental conditions are optimal for good health.

we often forget that any change in environment can trigger stress and immune system degredation, from food, to tank mates etc
 
Those are pretty big cysts. About 2 years back Dallas and I were "guinea pigs" for this product before it was even introduced to the market. I bought a Achilles tang and used it in my small reef system where the tang was housed. The tang got WS within two days, but it cleared up very quickly after that. The product works if used correctly and as directed. If your fish is still eating, carry on treatment until after 20 days. Lymphocytes is a viral disease that will go away with time.
 
If I remember, about 3 weeks, but forget.
 
Did anyone notice gorilla crabs dying after using this? I dosed this in my 250l tank and the next day I found two dead crabs.

Mmmmmmm, interesting. I suppose that's good hey? :)
 
@blrock, have you maybe done anything different in the tank while you have been dosing, maybe a new addition, new coral, anyway you could've had a spike in nutrients, think back, it could help?

It would be serendipity at its finest!
Strangely enough this was the only other thing I added to the tank (dissolved in RO) so I strongly suspect that it did target them. I do have high nitrates but my blood shrimp is fine as it would have been the first one to die of high nitrates.

Would be quick interesting to see if anyone else has the same result (would probably make this product even more popular :p ).

Do not mean to hijack the thread but does this mean that if used on a tank that is fallow (after having marine velvet or ich for instance) that the medication will kill any unhatched eggs still in the display? Possibly reducing the time the tank would have to stay fallow?

most medication is ingested into the fish via food and water and the parasites etc adsorb it from the host thus killing themselves.

The medication will not kill the eggs or speed up the gestation period etc
