How to use
Dosing frequency is related to water temperatures
If the fish continue to look stressed and listless, adjust the dose accordingly.
Water hardness (Ca2+ and Mg2+ in the water) can reduce the efficacy of Biokos. It is recommended to refer to the table below and adjust the dosage accordingly.
* measured as ppm CaCO3 (mg/L)
dH-The water hardness indicates how much calcium and magnesium are in the water.

- Ich-Away can be used in quarantine tanks if infected aquatic life can be isolated.
- Before starting to use Ich-Away, turn off protein skimmer and remove carbon filtration or any absorbent media (phosphate absorbents are okay).
- Tablet can be broken in half if needed. For aquariums 30-35 liters/10 gallons, use half of a tablet .
- Ich-Away is stable at pH from 5 to 8.5.
- Increase aeration in aquarium while using Ich-Away.
- Replace 25% of the water prior to adding each tablet(s).
- As Biokos® is a natural product, water coloration (turbidity) can sometimes appear. This should not affect the fish or other organisms and usually disappears in a couple of days.
- When dosing, drop tablets away from any air stones or bubble wands to avoid a large amount of foam being created (some foam creation is expected).
