Melafix: Your experience with it?

[Persistant]

I am curious to know what good/bad experiences people have had with the use of Melafix Marine in their mixed reef tanks (fish, LPS, SPS).

So I take it no one has ever used this product? Or am I not supposed to discuss this here?

Seriously ****es off inverts and corals when used. Never had it kill them.
Makes the skimmer go crazy.
Other then that no ill effects any times ive used melafix/pimafix in the tank.

Thanks for the info! I guess it may help qualify the question as I have observed since medicating my tank that my frogspawn isn't happy and every time I dose the tank it seems to effect the CU crew.

I've tried using Melafix many years ago in a quarantine tank on a few occasions and didn't find that the pseudo-medication actually did anything to cure the disease. I don't think the recipe has changed since.

I've used melafix/pimafix before and IMO,it's a total waste of money!
