Is it ok to use the pond care pimafix on a saltwater tank? And if so how do i dose?

What are you trying to treat? I don't think many consider melafix or primafix to be of much benefit in SW tanks.

Just some fluffy stuff on the fins and what not lymphocystis, its just that i allready have the pond pimafix and would like to use it.

Not sure "what not lymphocyctis" means ... if it is lympho then its a viral issue and no medication to my knowledge will have any impact.

I could not really spell the full word, its cotton like growth on fins and what not, and pimafix and melafix have worked for me in the past, but i did not know whether the pond one would work or not. Could someone please tell me if its ok to use the pond care stuff.

As stated .. if lympho is your problem then neither of those meds will help. A picture may help.

Well i have had success with Pimafix and Melafix before but i would just like to know if the pond stuff is the same as the other stuff like this.
