NT Labs Disease Solve (formerly known as General Tonic) is a broad-spectrum preventative and curative treatment designed to control disease-causing pathogens in both tropical and coldwater aquariums. Formulated with Acriflavine and Methylene Blue, it effectively manages background bacteria and parasites without harming filter bacteria, plants, or fish.
🛠️ Step-by-Step Usage Instructions
Calculate Tank Volume: Measure your aquarium dimensions in centimetres and calculate:
Length x Width x Depth / 1000 to get the volume in litres. Alternatively, utilize the online NT Labs Dosage Calculator
Remove Carbon Media: Take out any activated carbon or chemical adsorbent media from your filter before dosing, as they will pull the medication right out of the water.
Mix and Add: Shake the bottle thoroughly. Mix the required dose into 1 litre of existing aquarium water, then slowly pour it into the tank.
Monitor the Colour: The treatment will turn your aquarium water a vivid green/yellow hue, which confirms the active ingredients are actively working.
Post-Treatment Care: After 7 days, perform a 1/3 water change. Continue regular weekly water changes until the green colour entirely fades away. You can then reinstall your activated carbon to clear any residual tint.
💡 Primary Applications
Pathogen Control: Manages low-level bacteria and protozoa lurking in the water before they can manifest into severe physical symptoms.
Live Food Disinfection: Use it to safely disinfect live foods (such as daphnia or tubifex worms) before feeding them to your fish, keeping external pathogens out of your primary display tank.
Quarantine & Stress Support: Ideal as an entry-level tonic when introducing new fish or treating early-stage, ambiguous lethargy.
