Not for human consumption. Non-toxic. Use protective wear when handling. Does not contain hazardous materials.

Prime Coral Prevent RTN is used to treat saltwater systems infected with RTN parasites that cause RTN, STN, tissue necrosis, bleaching, polyp retraction, and loss of color on corals. Prime Coral Prevent RTN kills free swimming RTN parasites and parasites on and within the host coral. Prime Coral Prevent RTN should be used in conjunction with Prime Coral STOP RTN coral dip for maximum effect.

Caution: Not all infected corals will survive treatment. Use at your own Risk.

Note: SPS corals are more susceptible to heavy infestation.

Avoid adding to areas where fish may be exposed to high concentrations. Add to sump.

Dose 1 ml for every 10 gallons of actual water volume.

Directions:

1. Remove all fish from your tank.
2. Dose 1ml of Prime Coral Prevent RTN per 10 gallons of actual tank water volume.
3. Dillute dose with 1 gallon of your tank salt water in a separate container.
4. Remove protein skimmer cup and let overflow for 6 – 12 hours. Do NOT turn off your protein skimmer.
5. If you do not have a skimmer, use an air stone to oxygenate your tank. Recommendation; use 1 air stone per 50 gallons.
6. Divert away from carbon dosing reactors.
7. Reduce in-take flow to moderate for 6 – 12 hours.
8. Add slowly to sump. We recommend to drip into sump slowly between 20 to 30 mins.
9. Dose away from fish.
10. Repeat every 2 – 3 days for active disease.
11. 10% Water change after 12 hours of starting treatment.
12. We recommend using carbon and protein skimming after 12 hours of starting treatment.
13. Return fish to tank.

March 8th 2019, Prime Coral Labs announces successful testing of a new in-tank dosing strategy results in dramatically better treatment of philaster in reef systems. By adding two booster doses of Prime Coral Prevent RTN, one in 2 hours after the initial dose has synergistic effect on eliminating RTN parasite philaster from the water column. RTN parasites use the water column to find and infect new corals. With the booster doses during repeated trials at Prime Coral Labs, the philaster protozoan coral parasite was successfully removed from the water column of the reef system with initial dose followed by booster doses by 98%. Each treatment with in-tank Prime Coral Prevent RTN resulted in 98% successful clearance of the RTN parasites in the water column. Boosting schedule recommended is as follows:

PROTOCOL UPDATE 6/21/2019

After extensive testing at Prime Coral Labs, a modified triple boosting protocol has been developed for better results with the in-tank treatment, Prime Coral Prevent RTN. The updates have been added to the protocol below.

Treatment 1 (day 1): initial dose per Prime Coral Prevent RTN directions (1ml per 10 gallons actual water volume).

Treatment 2 (day 3): initial dose per Prime Coral Prevent RTN directions. First booster dose 45 minutes after initial dose has been added. Booster dose is 10% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump.

Treatment 3 (day 5):  initial dose per Prime Coral Prevent RTN directions. First booster dose 45 minutes after initial dose has been added. First booster dose is 10% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump. Second booster dose 45 minutes after first booster dose has been added. Second booster dose is 10% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump.

Treatment 4 (day 7): initial dose per Prime Coral Prevent RTN directions. First booster dose 45 minutes after initial dose has been added. First booster dose is 10% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump. Second booster dose 45 minutes after first booster dose has been added. Second booster dose is 10% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump. Third booster dose 45 minutes after second booster dose has been added. Third booster dose is 10% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump.

Treatment 5 (day 9): initial dose per Prime Coral Prevent RTN directions. First booster dose 45 minutes after initial dose has been added. First booster dose is 20-25% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump. Second booster dose 45 minutes after first booster dose has been added. Second booster dose is 20-25% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump. Third booster dose 45 minutes after second booster dose has been added. Third booster dose is 20-25% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump.

Treatment 6 (day 11): initial dose per Prime Coral Prevent RTN directions. First booster dose 45 minutes after initial dose has been added. First booster dose is 20-25% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump. Second booster dose 45 minutes after first booster dose has been added. Second booster dose is 20-25% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump. Third booster dose 45 minutes after second booster dose has been added. Third booster dose is 20-25% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump.

Treatment 7 (day 13): initial dose per Prime Coral Prevent RTN directions. First booster dose 45 minutes after initial dose has been added. First booster dose is 20-25% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump. Second booster dose 45 minutes after first booster dose has been added. Second booster dose is 20-25% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump. Third booster dose 45 minutes after second booster dose has been added. Third booster dose is 20-25% of the initial dose, added immediately to the sump.

Repeat Treatment 7 as needed for outbreak of coral tissue necrosis.

*Initial dose should be dripped in the sump over 30 minutes. Boosting dose can be added immediately in the sump and does not need to be diluted in tank water.

See video for boosted treatment.

Recommendations:

Dilute the full dose in 1 gallon of tank water and drip into sump or high flow area between 20 to 30 minutes. For healthy tank maintenance, use every 2 weeks as directed. To treat an RTN, STN, bleaching parasite outbreak, dose every 2 days for two weeks. It is strongly recommended to combine Prime Coral STOP RTN coral dip in conjunction with Prime Coral Prevent RTN in-tank treatment for maximum effect on RTN parasites and better coral health.
