Has anyone made Melafix?

I know the formula: 1 part tea tree oil to 100 parts distilled water.

My question has to do with the distilled water. Could it have copper or lead in it or is that just old school distilling.

OK, it's off to the store to get the tea tree oil, Rite Aid has a 2 for 1 sale, So if any one wants to buy a 1 oz bottal of tea tree oil for $5.25 just PM me and I'll bring it to the CCA meeting on Saturday.

Melafix and Pimafix recipes​


Melafix is 99% distilled water and 1 % Tea tree oil (melaleuca oil).

You can buy distilled water cheaply, about $2.00 a gallon (128oz). Tea tree oil is available online and in any health store, alternative medicine stores, walmart, Rite Aid. You should have no problem finding it.

You then mix 1 ml oil to every 100 ml water and you get your own Melafix with the same strength as the store bought medicine (as close as makes no difference) Try to get the measurements as exact as possible but if you are a couple of ml of with the water it is no big deal. It is the oil you need to take care when you mix.

To make your own Pimafix it's 1% Bay oil or Pimenta racemosa, same as concentrations as the Melafix, so 1ml in 100ml of water.

NOTES: Reuse your existing Melafix bottle 16 FL OZ (473ml)
1. Using a medicine dropper, measure 4 ¾ ml of Tea Tree Oil and add to empty bottle.
2. Fill 16oz bottle with DISTILLED water, shake lightly.

Dosage: remove activated carbon from filter, if possible
Add 5ml of Melafix to 10 U.S. gallons of aquarium water. Dose daily for 7 days. After 7 days make a 25% water change. Treatment can be continued if necessary.
*******************************************************************Another option if you have large tanks is to make the Melafix/Pimafix double strength, just double the formula. 2% tea tree oil to 98% water.
DON’T FORGET TO CUT THE DOSAGE IN HALF.
