Seachem Focus 5gm – Advanced Antibacterial Polymer for Internal Fish Infections

Description

Seachem Focus 5gm – Advanced Antibacterial Polymer for Internal Fish Infections.
 

Protect the health of your aquarium fish with Seachem Focus 5gm, a scientifically formulated antibacterial polymer treatment designed for the effective management of internal infections in fish. This advanced product is ideal for both freshwater and marine aquariums, offering a safe and efficient way to deliver medication directly to your fish through food, ensuring maximum absorption and minimal water contamination.

Unlike traditional water-based medications that diffuse into the tank and can affect plants, invertebrates, or water chemistry, Seachem Focus™ binds medication directly to fish food. This method delivers treatment straight to the fish’s digestive system — where internal infections develop — and significantly reduces medication loss to the surrounding water. As a result, Focus™ is especially useful in community tanks or planted aquariums where sensitive species like shrimp, snails, or corals are present.

Why Choose Seachem Focus™?

Seachem Focus™ uses a unique polymer-bound nitrofurantoin (0.1%) as its active ingredient. This polymer acts as a carrier that allows the medication to be safely and evenly distributed in food, making it more palatable for your fish while ensuring a controlled release of the antibacterial compound inside their system. This precise method of medication delivery not only ensures better results but also avoids the common side effects associated with medicating the entire tank.

When to Use Seachem Focus™

You should use Seachem Focus™ when your fish exhibit signs of internal bacterial infections, such as:

• Loss of appetite or refusal to eat.

• Bloating or swelling in the abdomen.

• White or abnormal stools.

• Weight loss, lethargy, or clamped fins.

It’s also ideal in the following scenarios:

• During combined treatments: When treating multiple infections simultaneously, Focus™ allows one medication to be used in food while another is added to the water, preventing chemical overload.

• In planted or reef aquariums: Using Focus™ prevents damage to plants, corals, or invertebrates that are often sensitive to standard aquarium medications.

• For internal bacterial issues: Effective against common pathogens causing infections of the digestive tract and internal organs.
