Seachem MetroPlex™ | Parasite & Bacterial Treatment for Fish

Seachem MetroPlex™ – Effective Treatment for Parasites & Bacterial Diseases

Seachem MetroPlex™ is a safe and effective treatment for several common protozoan and anaerobic bacterial diseases in both freshwater and marine fish. Its active ingredient, metronidazole (70%), specifically targets stubborn infections like Ich (White Spot), Velvet, and Hexamita (often associated with Hole-in-the-Head disease). Designed for versatility, it can be dosed directly into the water or mixed with food to treat internal infections without harming your aquarium's biological filter.

Targeted Healing & Safe Administration

MetroPlex™ provides a potent defense against insidious diseases while remaining gentle on your established aquatic ecosystem.

• Broad Spectrum Efficacy: Effectively treats Cryptocaryon, Hexamita, and Ichthyophthirius, making it an essential tool for both external and internal parasitic issues.

• Bio-Filter Safe: Formulated to be non-toxic to nitrifying bacteria, ensuring your nitrogen cycle remains stable throughout the treatment process.

• Reef-Safe Feeding Option: When used in a medicated food mix with Seachem Focus™, it is excellent for treating parasites in tanks containing sensitive invertebrates.

• Non-Staining Formula: Does not discolor aquarium water or equipment and can be easily removed with activated carbon after treatment is complete.

• Low Overdose Risk: An exceptionally safe profile makes it forgiving for hobbyists, reducing the stress typically associated with medicating a tank.

FAQ Section: Common Questions

• How do I dose Seachem MetroPlex™ in the water? Remove all invertebrates and turn off UV, ozone, and chemical filtration (like Carbon or Purigen). Use 1–2 measures (included) per every 40 L (10 US gallons) every 48 hours for up to 3 weeks.

• How do I make a medicated food mix? Mix 1 scoop of MetroPlex™ with 1 scoop of Seachem Focus™ and 1 tablespoon of food (frozen or pellet). Use with GarlicGuard™ to enhance appetite; this mix can be refrigerated or frozen between feedings.

• Is it safe for plants and corals? When dosed in the water, invertebrates are extremely sensitive and must be removed. However, when used as a medicated food mix, it is safe to use in tanks containing corals and invertebrates as the medication is ingested directly by the fish.
