Aquasonic Vertonex 250ml – Reef-Safe White Spot Treatment

Product Overview

Aquasonic Vertonex 250ml is a reef-safe treatment developed to combat white spot (Cryptocaryon irritans) in marine aquariums. Unlike most treatments, Vertonex can be safely used even when corals and invertebrates are present, making it ideal for reef tank owners.
