Sochting Oxydator D - Increase Oxygen Level in Shrimps Fish Tank Aquarium

I read somewhere that I could use this for it. I have a blue eye Kole Tang got Ick then my cleaner goby‘s got it from cleaning the tang. I read somewhere that I could use an oxidizer to help help kill the parasite in its larva stage or something. Fish has been alive for about two months now after having it and installing the oxidizer, it seemed to work for me, the tang is still alive. don’t take my word for using it to prevent ick It’s just what helped me.

I bought two oxygenators for my 90g reef aquarium after finding ick covering my tang. This was recommended from some website as a way to reduce ick (not totally eradicate).First, the oxygenator device is quite simplistic. It’s a plastic cup and lid mounted in a piece of clay(?) which is used as a weight. There’s a tiny piece of what appears to be charcoal within the cup. The cup is filled with peroxide and as the peroxide is exchanged to water and gas, it’s released in the tank. I used 12% food-grade peroxide as instructed on the website.Anyways, I have to admit, though I was skeptical, this thing worked. After about a month, My tang is very well and maybe has one or two spots of ick and seems to be thriving very well. As recommended from the website, I also increased aeration as ick often attacks the gills and increased fish feeding to keep him healthy. I ran a UV sterilizer to help further reduce the free swimming ick and the last thing I did was add seachem stress guard as an antiseptic to heal damage from the ich. Again, it all worked and Im beyond the curve and he seems to be healing well with no visible spots.One more note, maybe from the UV or from the peroxide, but the tank is extra clean with no muck buildup on glass or in the filter.Good luck

Seemed like it was helping until my fish put crushed coral on it. I went to add more fluid and lost the catalyst. Can’t find replacements anywhere making this useless and a waste of money. Amazon needs to sell extra catalysts. And more than one should come with the oxydator. It’s really small and the same color at the plastic part. I was having a hard time taking it apart, when I lost the catalyst.

it appears to me that the rubber between base and the container does not seal off properly so I just get a big bubble plop out every so often instead of smaller bubbles that would dissolve better. Their is to much space so that when its twisted it does not tighten up properly

It allows your aquarium to be highly oxygenated even with little to no filtration. Fish are more active, plants grow better and it turns your nitrites into nitrates by oxydating them. LOVE IT!
