This 16-ounce bottle provides extensive treatment capacity for saltwater setups, delivering the proven healing power of Melafix in a formula optimized for the unique chemistry of marine environments. The natural approach treats infections effectively without harming corals, invertebrates, or biological filtration in reef and fish-only marine systems. Natural healing for saltwater fish. Available at TaraPet, the UAE's trusted online pet store.

API's marine Melafix formula is specifically calibrated for the high-salinity, high-pH environment of marine aquariums, ensuring the tea tree extract maintains its antibacterial effectiveness in saltwater conditions.
Marine-Optimized Formula
The api marine melafix treatment is specifically formulated for saltwater aquarium chemistry. The concentration and delivery of the Melaleuca extract is optimized for the ionic environment of marine water, ensuring effective antibacterial action at proper marine salinity levels.
Bacterial Infection Healing
Marine fish are susceptible to bacterial infections including fin rot, body slime disease, mouth rot, and open sore infections. The natural tea tree formula effectively treats these conditions while promoting rapid tissue regeneration and recovery in affected fish.
Fin and Tissue Repair
Beyond killing bacteria, the formula actively promotes the regrowth of damaged fins, skin, and gill tissue. Marine fish with injuries from aggression, handling, or disease show visible tissue regeneration during the seven-day treatment course.
Reef Safe Application
The natural formula is safe for use in reef aquariums with corals, anemones, live rock, and invertebrates at recommended dosages. Marine hobbyists can treat the entire tank without removing sensitive reef organisms during the treatment period.
Open Wound Protection
Marine fish with open wounds from territorial aggression, parasites, or handling are vulnerable to rapidly progressing bacterial infections in warm saltwater. The treatment creates a protective antibacterial environment throughout the tank that shields all wounds.
Natural Tea Tree Power
Melaleuca tea tree extract has been used medicinally for centuries with scientifically proven antibacterial properties. The natural approach provides effective infection treatment without the harsh chemical side effects that synthetic marine antibiotics can cause.
Marine Fish Compatibility
The formula is safe for all marine fish species including sensitive species like mandarins, seahorses, and butterflyfish. Unlike copper-based marine medications that are highly toxic to some species, the tea tree formula treats without species-specific risks.
Invertebrate Safe
Shrimp, crabs, snails, sea stars, and other marine invertebrates are not harmed by the treatment at recommended dosages. This is critical for reef tanks where removing invertebrates during treatment is impractical or impossible.
Seven-Day Treatment Protocol
Add the recommended dose daily for seven consecutive days based on aquarium volume. After seven days, perform a 25 percent water change. For persistent infections, a second course may be administered. The measuring cap ensures precise dosing.
Post-Introduction Treatment
New marine fish often arrive stressed with minor abrasions from netting and transport. A preventive three-day course protects new arrivals during the vulnerable acclimation period when stress-related bacterial infections are most likely to develop.
16-Ounce Treatment Capacity
The large bottle provides extensive treatment capacity for marine aquariums of all sizes. Multiple complete seven-day courses can be administered from a single bottle, making it an economical medicine cabinet essential for serious marine hobbyists.
Biological Filter Safe
The natural formula does not harm the nitrifying bacteria in biological filtration media and live rock. Marine biological filtration continues functioning normally during treatment, maintaining the nitrogen cycle that marine organisms depend upon.
Eye and Mouth Infections
Bacterial infections affecting marine fish eyes and mouths respond well to the tea tree treatment. Cloudy eyes, pop-eye, and mouth rot conditions show improvement during the treatment course when detected and treated early.
Combination With Marine Pimafix
When both bacterial and fungal infections are present in marine fish, this treatment can be used alongside API Marine Pimafix for comprehensive dual-action coverage against the full spectrum of marine fish pathogens.
