"JBL Ektol Fluid
100 ml solution as additive for 400 l aquarium water
Medication for aquarium fish against fin rot and other external bacterial infections caused by bacteria of the strains Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, Columnaris and others. “Fallen off“ fins (fin rot), ulcers, mouth mould, popeyes and dropsy are frequent symptoms of such infections. Ektol fluid is also a reliable remedy in cases where the fish give an indication of the onset of illness through their behaviour (sticky fins, rubbing against objects) but a definite diagnosis is not possible.
Contra-indications: none known.
Caution: Intolerance may be shown by invertebrates in freshwater (shrimp, crustacean etc.). They should be excluded from treatment. Fish without scales (loaches and catfish) and weakened fish may react sensitively to the medication. Start with a half dose before carefully increasing.
Side-effects: None known. If your fish should show signs of side-effects, please inform us, or your vet or pharmacist.
Reactions with other medications: The use of water conditioners at the same time may cause Ektol fluid to be less effective.Using other medications at the same time may cause unwanted and unpredictable effects and should therefore be avoided. If other preparations have been used shortly before the planned application of Ektol fluid approx. 2/3 of the water should be changed, after which Ektol fluid can be safely used.
Application: Before application any active carbon must be removed from the filter, UV-C appliances and CO2 fertilizers switched off.
Dose: 10 ml for 40 l water. A repeat dose can be given on the 5th day if required, in full strength. Immediately before a repeat dose, 30 – 50 % of the water should be changed. In the case of soft water below 8° carbonate hardness only 50 % of the full dose should be given. For carbonate hardness over 15° the dose may be increased to 125 %.
Note on the length of treatment: An improvement or even the disappearance of the illness can normally be seen after a single dose. Treatment can be repeated if required, as stated above.
Filtering and feeding during treatment: Ektol fluid causes massive damage to the cleansing bacteria in the filter. We therefore recommend disconnecting the filter from the aquarium and running it in another container to retain the cleansing bacteria. Aerate the aquarium well during the time without the filter. If possible, do not feed during treatment.
Note in the event of overdosing, interrupted or prematurely terminated treatment: In the event of an overdose, half the water should be changed.
After application: Before reconnecting the filter to the aquarium, remove all filter material and store in a damp, cool place. Fit the filter with new filter floss and active carbon (JBL Carbomec activ). Filter the aquarium through this for 24 hours to remove all residue of the medication. Throw away the filter floss and carbon and place the filter material previously removed back in the filter before running the filter. Finally, add a daily dose of JBL Acclimol to fortify the immune system of the fish and promote the healing of the injuries sustained from the parasites. The addition of JBL FilterStart to the filter or JBL Denitrol to the aquarium water helps replace any damaged cleansing bacteria.
