Hi All,

Has anybody used the product AquaMaster Multi-cure.

capekate

As a broad spectrum medication it should be ok. It has methylene blue and the malachite green in it and I would assume that it should work, tho I have never used it. I try to stay away from broad spectrum medications and try to find meds for the specific problem as I believe those meds would be stronger rather than a general broad spectrum such as the multi-cure.Please let us know if it worked in your tank.
ps it will stain everything in your tank either blue or green btw....

Methylene Blue is more likely than not to wipe out your beneficial bacteria. I suggest you treat your fish in a smaller uncycled tank so you keep your tank cycle undisrupted.

I've never had problems with methylene blue killing my bacteria, but it does wipe out plants and can harm inverts. A different broad spectrum would probably be better, such as Mela/Pima-fix. You can add in something such as Rid-ICH+ that contains Malachite green (safe for plants and inverts).

yeah it makes the tank go green for a little while, ive been putting live bacteria to offset any good bacteria deficiencies

I don't have experience with that medication, however I can recomend melafix and pimafix they are great. The melafix is for bacterial things, the pimafix is for fungal issues. I keep both stocked up at home for my cichild tanks. I use the melafix very often, just when I see fin nips, etc to prevent any infections. I have also used melafix/pimafix one time for a fungal infection about 8 months ago it worked great all of my fish survived something that I didn't think was possible. It was in my 36g tank, and it only took 3 days of therapy.
