Aquarium Medications - From MILD to MASSIVE (What does What)

Aquarium Medications are a big part of our wonderful hobby. Unfortunately, it's also a very complicated part of it. With so many diseases and medications who knows what to use for what, and how strong a medication should I use or not. Or even, do I really need aquarium medication at all?

As Usual, I've got you covered!

You not only explain everything clearly and are very informative with your solutions, but I have to say you're video editing/production is awesome! Thanks for all you do!

[theauroraphoenix]

That is a lot of information in one video! Thankyou for explaining everything so clearly

[drmd]

Most comprehensive and most accurate video And I'm a doctor so, seriously, I am very critical of medications and diseases, but NOWHERE in the video did I ever say.. "Hmm.. I don't think so." You're cool, Mr. Kaveman!!

[dylanvr]

Hey I'm just gunna say, if u had an hour long video explaining each virus with symptoms and prevention.. I'd watch it just like I've watched almost every other video on your channel!

[GenRN]

Kev, you have done an amazing job on your production quality and presentation. You should be so proud. Great job. Here for the great information!

[monchug]

Hey Kev, maybe you can make 1 video for each meds, focus and go all in depth on the med, what it does, how strong is the meds, what does it cure and how to use etc.. I think thats a good idea because i like the way you explain, very basic and straight to the point!

Kev, being as the Green/Blue Slime is a bacteria I'll put this here. I had both of my 55 gals. Cichlid tanks hit with this Slime. At first, I thought it was algae but soon learned what it really was. I dissolved 3, 500 mg. Amoxicillin tablets in water and added it to my tank and let it sit, covered and in darkness, for 2 days. The fish and everything stayed in the tank. At the end of the first two days, I did a massive water change, approx. 75 to 80 % and then added 1500 mg. of Amoxicillin again., covered the tank, and waited two more days, and then another massive water change. At this point in time the Slime started to disappear like magic. there wasn't much Slime left on anything in my tank and my tank appeared as clean as ever. Meanwhile, my fish were doing fine. After the last water change when my tank was clear I did another massive water change and added carbon to my filter to get the meds out of my tank so I could get my Nitrogen Cycle restarted.Twice now this has worked for me and it takes a lot of manual work of removing the Slime away because it seems to melt away and disappear. It's been 4 months since my first tank was cleared this way and there are no signs of Slime returning anywhere in it.

[mary]

Hello I’m new in having an aquarium I notice one of my goldfish have a cloudy eye what do you recommend love watching your videos while cooking for the family ❤

[jonakid]

Dude...your videos are super informative and straightforward. You made one mistake in this video though....you said if you went into depth it would be over an hour long and no one would watch that. Not true at all! I know I would!

If I ever need advise or stuck I always turn to your videos! Thanks bro!

[jennnewton]

[kevinsobon]

Love your channel!
Great personality and I love that I have a heavy focus on the new comers while proving simple straight to the point terms... So glad I found your channel.. thank you🙏❤️

[cherie]

Kevin thank you for posting this. Your video gave me goosebumps. Exactly the video i was hoping for a channel to post! Definitely something I would be watching several times in the future. Thanks for dumbing it down for us. I’m a big fan!

[lisas]

I love how you get right to the point. Informative with resolutions. You are awesome! Thank you

[Agentshadowolf]

This is great information and I'm thankful that none of my fish have gotten parasites or anything way worse. The only thing I ever had to deal with twice in my lifetime in the hobby it was dealing with ick and it was easy to deal with within a week
