Ruby Reef Kick-Ich Pro

Ruby Reef Kick-Ich Pro is a reef-safe treatment designed to help combat common external parasites, including marine ich (Cryptocaryon irritans), while being safe for use in aquariums containing fish, live rock, and many invertebrates. It provides hobbyists with an option for treating parasite concerns without the use of harsh copper-based medications.

Kick-Ich Pro works by targeting the free-swimming stages of parasites, helping reduce outbreaks when used as part of a proper treatment plan. For the best results, early detection and consistent dosing are important, as established infections can be more difficult to manage.

Why use Ruby Reef Kick-Ich Pro?

  • Reef-safe formula designed for marine aquariums

  • Safe for use with many corals and invertebrates

  • Copper-free treatment option

  • Helps manage common external fish parasites

  • Easy-to-follow dosing instructions

  • Suitable for both saltwater and freshwater systems

How to use

Before using Kick-Ich Pro, remove any chemical filtration such as activated carbon or UV sterilizers, as these can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

  1. Shake the bottle well before use.

  2. Add the recommended dose based on your aquarium volume.

  3. Continue treatment as directed on the bottle.

  4. Maintain good water quality and observe fish closely throughout treatment.

  5. After treatment is complete, perform normal maintenance and replace any removed filtration media.

For the best chance of success, treat at the first signs of illness and avoid introducing untreated fish into an established aquarium.

Important notes

While Kick-Ich Pro is designed to be reef safe, every aquarium is different. Monitor sensitive livestock closely during treatment and always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Maintaining proper quarantine practices is the best way to prevent future parasite outbreaks.

Why we love it

Having a reliable treatment option on hand can make a huge difference when dealing with unexpected fish health issues. Ruby Reef Kick-Ich Pro gives reef keepers a convenient, easy-to-use option for addressing parasite concerns while helping maintain a safe environment for their aquarium inhabitants.

LIGHT

LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.

MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height. 

HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.

FLOW

LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.

MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.

HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.

SKILL

ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.

While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
