New fish are often the source of infectious diseases that can wipeout an entire aquarium. Be proactive and give your fish a Safety Stop bath to significantly lower the risk of introducing deadly diseases. Protect your investment!!!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile there is no substitute for extended quarantine of new fish in a separate hospital tank, often it is not practical. We recommend using Safety Stop\u003cspan\u003e before introducing the new fish into your main aquarium or into the quarantine tank. For multiple tank owners, it should be used anytime a fish is transferred from one tank to another including all quarantine tanks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eHow to use product:\u003c\/div\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake fish from fish store directly home without delay. Acclimate fish to the same temperature and pH of the aquarium before performing the Safety Stop bath. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e While fish is acclimating prepare the two baths: into clean, non-metallic  containers (i.e., a plastic or glass bucket), add one gallon of water directly from the aquarium into each bucket. With scissors, cut the edge of the product packages and pour PART A into the first container and PART B into the second container Monitor for temperature changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gently agitate both solutions with an air stone. Leave the air stones in the container to oxygenate the water when fish is in the bath.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the fish to be treated from acclimation water and deposit in bath PART A for 45 min (30 min if fish has been shipped overnight within the last 72 hours). Keep a loose cover on bath to make sure fish doesn’t jump out.  Carefully watch the fish for signs of stress during the entire treatment process. Signs of stress include heavy breathing, erratic swimming, rolling, etc. If fish shows signs of stress reduce time and put immediately into PART B bath.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter Part A, transfer fish to Part B bath for 45 min. Continuing to watch for signs of stress. If signs of stress occur, remove before treatment is over, and transfer to quarantine tank or prepared aquarium. Do not put bath water into aquarium. After treatment B is over net fish into aquarium.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObserve fish after introduction to tank to make sure tank mates are not disturbing fish. It is good idea to feed the tank simultaneously while introducing the new fish to keep the resident fish occupied. Keep light levels low for 24 hours after introduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003eNOTE:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBath should be discarded after several hours but can be used on multiple fish within a few hours either at the same time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis dip protocol is intended for ornamental fish only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eDO NOT USE ON INVERTEBRATES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eWarnings:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use on scale-less freshwater fishes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use on invertebrates i.e. Corals, urchins, sea stars, snails, crabs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not exceed 45 minutes in each bath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use on fish that show obvious signs of sickness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolution may stain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not pour dip water into tank K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep out of reach of children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not injest or breathe vapors!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Blue Life","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40199921926279,"sku":"25080","price":5.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/6387\/6487\/products\/blue-life-safety-stop-961971.jpg?v=1731255984"},{"product_id":"tmc-acclimation-kit","title":"TMC Acclimation Kit","description":"The kit includes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n- Siphon starter and water flow indicator chamber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n- Rigid plastic connecting pipe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n- Water control valve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n- Tropic Marin PRO-TECT 10ml (this can be used when acclimating as it helps to increase immunity, reduce stress and prevent fluctuations in water chemistry)","brand":"TMC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40200467808391,"sku":"9503","price":10.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/6387\/6487\/files\/AcclimationKit.jpg?v=1772552010"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/6387\/6487\/collections\/acclimation-kits-690898.webp?v=1706190926","url":"https:\/\/charterhouse-aquatics.com\/collections\/acclimation-kits\/saltwater.oembed","provider":"Charterhouse Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
