Key Uses of Kusuri Chloramine T

Chloramine T is known for its broad-spectrum action. It treats pathogens that are often resistant to milder treatments, making it a powerful choice.

• Parasite Eradication: It is highly effective against common protozoan parasites. This includes Costia and Chilodonella, which often cause fish to flash and flick.
• White Spot Treatment: This is a reliable option for fighting White Spot. It can be used safely, especially in systems where filter health is a concern (though caution must still be exercised—see below).
• Bacterial Control: It reduces populations of external bacteria. These bacteria cause common issues like fin rot, ulcers, and general skin damage.
• Filter Disinfectant: You can use it to disinfect filter media and pipework. This is useful when breaking down systems or dealing with severe, persistent disease outbreaks.

Critical Dosing and Safety Instructions

When using any strong pond chemical like Kusuri Chloramine T Parasite Treatment, careful preparation and accurate dosing are paramount. This protects both your fish and your biological filtration system.

1. Check pH: Do not use this product if your pond’s pH is below 7.0. Low pH makes the treatment significantly more toxic to your fish.
2. Remove Carbon: Remove all activated carbon and Zeolite from the filtration system before dosing.
3. Dosing Rate: The standard treatment dose is 5g per 1,000 litres (220 UK gallons). Always weigh the powder precisely to ensure safety.
4. Application: Dissolve the measured amount in a bucket of pond water. Distribute the solution evenly across the pond surface over an hour. Ensure the pond is well aerated during the entire treatment period.

It is strongly advised to conduct a substantial water change (15-20%) one day after treatment.

Protecting Your Biological Filter

Chloramine T is a powerful chemical. It can temporarily strip your biological filter of beneficial bacteria, which affects ammonia and nitrite processing. While effective, you must use it responsibly. After completing the course of treatment, we highly recommend adding a dedicated bacterial boost product. This will rapidly repopulate your filter media. It ensures your pond water quality remains stable and safe during the recovery period.
