Might have to eat my own words re: quarantine

I hope that med will work.

Types and quantities of active substances:1 ml of unimarin contains:
4.00 mg of ethacridine lactate
2.75 mg of tetramethylthionine chloride
2.00 mg of acriflavin chloride
0.26 mg of 4-(4'-dimethylaminophenylaza-benzol-1-sulfonic acid) sodium salt

Does anyone know if acriflavin is effective against velvet?

First one is an antiseptic, Second is simply methylen blue, third is a desinfectant and not sure what is the last one.

I thought only copper worked for velvet?

I've got my info from here

http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-07/sp/feature/

which claims that acriflavin does potentially work, although maybe not as effective as copper...

I might try to find some Marex though....

Hopefully it works, I used Cupramine by seachem. To bad your not closer as I still have an almost full bottle I could of gave you. It's buffered active copper so as far as I'm aware it's supposed to be not as hard on the fish as other copper treatments. The bottle says "Less toxic, superior to, and safer then copper chlorides, sulfates, citrates and chelates"
