Has any one tried Polyp Lab Medic Parasite Treatment

[Blitzer]

Imo people are just seeing the normal life cycle of ick and think the poly is working. I don't doubt it probably helps manage it and therefor reduces the numbers of spots one might see. But I think it's far from a cure. If the makers of this product could show non biased test results and how they obtained success then I would look at it more closely, but I'm willing to bet they don't have the data to back up there claim.

Perhaps it was a coincidence... but before the treatment the tang was only getting more and more visible spots. Perhaps the tang built an immunity, but that doesn't explain why he didn't fight it off the first time, or got it just as bad the second time around. Maybe the tang built up immunity exactly when I started adding the medic. Or maybe the medic worked.

Sure, this isn't exactly a scientific research study... but I'm happy with the results I've seen.

The fact this product has been around for 10 years and there are a handful of people who claim it works is a good indication that it doesn't. When people see ich in their display tanks they get desperate and start googling anything that might help. IF the stuff actually worked there would be huge write ups on forums and reefing websites about it. Do a quick search and the only people claiming this actually works other than Polylab are 2 people on this thread after being up for 10 years... Not discrediting the experience, just highly skeptical is all.

I get you, I was highly skeptical as well. Smelled of snake oil... but figured what was the harm in trying before I completely tore down the tank to get all the fish out. Glad I did.

Glad it worked for you, tearing down a tank because of disease sucks.

Total scam. I used it 3 times. The first time, used as directed. Did nothing. Bought 2 more bottles and used DOUBLE dose. Did nothing. Used TTM, problem solved until I added a fish not properly quarantined. I'm doing TTM again as we speak cause TTM works. The Polyp Labs stuff should be taken off the market because its a scam.
