Safety Stop is an essential treatment designed to protect new fish from common and serious disease outbreaks in saltwater and freshwater aquariums. This simple yet highly effective bath helps safeguard your aquatic inhabitants from external parasites, as well as bacterial and fungal infections that new arrivals often carry. By proactively treating fish before introduction, you significantly reduce the risk of devastating diseases spreading throughout your entire display tank.
This unique two-part solution is straightforward to prepare and use, requiring only clean, non-metallic containers and water from your aquarium. Part A and Part B are gently agitated with an airstone, creating an oxygenated environment for the fish during its rapid treatment. While not a replacement for full, extended quarantine, it serves as a crucial first line of defense, especially when dedicated quarantine facilities are not immediately available or practical.
Safety Stop is ideal for any aquarist looking to enhance biosecurity and protect their existing livestock from potential pathogens introduced by new fish. It provides a quick and reliable safety measure for hobbyists who want to be proactive against disease but may lack the time or space for a traditional quarantine setup. Use it as a fundamental step to significantly lower the risk of deadly diseases before placing new fish into either your main display or a dedicated quarantine tank.

Used this as the formalin dip while following BRS' tank transfer method, though every two days instead of three. Can't exactly speak to its efficacy as my clownfish didn't appear sick people to qt, but it's still not sick so I can't say it caused noticeable harm beyond probably some stress from the net.
This doesn't replace fish quarantine, but it is an easy and accessible dose of Formalin and Methalyn blue, which are so useful for a variety of fish ailments. I used to buy them in bulk from amazon, now I'm glad I can get them through ole reliable BRS!
Consider this as a a quick bath or a mixture of formaline and methalyn blue. It doesnt not in anyway prevent you from doing a quaratine, but this is a must if your shipping fish from far or your moving fish in a speed up quarantine time line. Have never lost a fish i dipped on this, always dip expensive fish as an extra precautions.
I use this every time before placing my fish in quarantine. Works great with no issues! Highly recommend. So glad BRS is carrying this now.
