Marex is a colorless antibiotic blend of primarily Chloroquine Phosphate with some Pyrimethamine in a more effective synergistic combination than similar products.
The first effective copper substitute treatment Marine/Saltwater Oodinium. In fact AAPs founder along with many other longtime marine aquarium keepers have found Marex about as close to a "Wonder treatment" as there could be.
MAREX is an effective, colorless aid in aquariums for the treatment and prevention of:
* Marine Oodinium & related Brooklynella as well as Chilodonella in freshwater fish that are sensitive to copper
* Marine Ich (Cryptocaryon).
MAREX is a copper substitute and unlike copper, may be safely overdosed in difficult cases. As a preventive, treat aquarium when introducing new fish.
* Flukes or other ectoparasites in both marine and freshwater.
* Some viral infections (more as an aid to recovery).
Avoid use in the presence of invertebrates.
Do not mix with products containing Copper, Ampicillin, Praziquantel, or Isoniazid.
Do not use UVC Sterilization while treating with Marex
• USE: A partial water change and/or temporary activated carbon use is recommended before and after each treatment. Continue filtration but remove carbon from filter during treatment. MAREX is light sensitive, reduce light during product use (including UV Sterilization).
Introduce one capsule per 10 gallons, repeat treatment every third day for three treatments. A forth treatment 7 days later to prevent return of infestation is suggested

Treatment in a quarantine tank is suggested unless infection is shared by several fish. MAREX can be removed from aquarium water by adding carbon to the filter.
As well, the ingredients in Marex are very light sensitive, so a darkened aquarium or better, hospital tank will yield best results (if a hospital quarantine tank is used, make sure to have a good bio filter and keep fish out of the main aquarium for at least 6 weeks to allow pathogens in the main tank to die off)!
Marex is unique in that it quickly kills Oodinium & Brooklynella while at its deadliest in the fish gills, unlike copper. However, Copper often kills the water borne stage of the parasite better, so a follow up with copper or leaving the main aquarium fallow without fish for 6 weeks is suggested.
