Anyone know if this stuff works?
Looks like it would be a good treatment to use in QT as a preventive if no specific pathogen is evident.
Here is the product description:
Also, formalin is one of the active ingredients, but I have not seen formalin suggested in these forums. When I asked at a local club meeting however, several experts including the curator of a public display aquarium said they use formalin. Why do I not see it mentioned more often?

Here is the product description:
- QuICK Cure is the fastest known treatment for Ick. When fish are observed with the white sugar like spots covering the fish, QuICK Cure is the product of choice. It can also be used to treat symptoms that include gasping for air, flicking against rocks and the grey-white slime that covers sick fish. QuICk Cure also treats mild fluke and body fungus outbreaks as well as protozoan parasite illnesses such as costia, chilodonella and trichodina. It also has the ability to control lymphocystis in just a few days. Although lymphocystis is truly a virus, QuICK Cure does not kill the virus but makes the environment of the aquarium so the disease can not flourish. Apply QuICK Cure once every 24
hours according to the dosing chart on the label. QuICK Cure typically cures within 48 hours however the treatment can be repeated in 48 hours if necessary. The aquarium water will turn light blue during treatment. This is a temporary condition and will disappear in a few days. Safe for freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Will not harm most aquatic plants.
