phoenix44 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 What are the active ingredients in the whitespot cure? I think it is mainly methylene blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie841 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I think it is mainly methylene blue It is in ours but it should say in the bottle what it has in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32GOTMLK Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 lots of water flow? yeah kinda 2 fx5's What are the active ingredients in the whitespot cure? im not sure its "Blue circle" band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 The point would be that the meth blue would make it blue but there may be other things there still working when it is gone. Wonder tonic has a number of ingredients only one of which is meth blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Blue circle doesn't have its ingredients listed anywhere that I can find but I don't care to much about that because it works!!! It is IMO the best stuff on the market for white spot. Water will usually clear in a few hours with it but it seems to be still working.

phoenix44 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 ive found it stays blue in a tank that is covered and has lower water flow, and goes clear in a tank that has higher water flow / agitation and / or is not covered. could just be a coincidence.

darkfur Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I think the stain ingredients get oxidised. Don't forget your water changes even though you can't see the bluey goodness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos & Siran Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I recently lost a clown loach by over dosing using blue circle. They are quite sensitive because they have no scales, so just beware if you're using it in your clown loach tank, Lynda recommended using only half the dose which seems to do the trick.
