President Trump announced in a press conference Thursday that chloroquine phosphate — a substance found in drugs used to treat malaria, severe arthritis and also used as a medication in aquariums, was just cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to test as a treatment for the coronavirus. That same substance, outside its pharmaceutical form, is used as a water treatment in aquariums to kill microscopic organisms that might harm fish and other aquatic animals. As you may imagine, some price gouging is going from some individuals. A product that normally cost about $9.99 is now selling for $420.00 or more and sparking fears that people may be ingesting the fish-tank additive in the hope it will combat COVID-19 illnesses.

Earlier this week we announced a new in-tank bacterial treatment that treats STN (Slow Tissue Necrosis) and RTN (Rapid Tissue Necrosis) in corals and now Triton Labs is back in the spotlight with a product called CYA-NO. About CYA-NO Anyone who has been in the aquarium hobby for any length of time has probably faced an outbreak of cyanobacteria at one time or another, it can be a very unsightly and a difficult problem to overcome. Unlike most cyanobacteria treatments, CYA-NO is a cyanobacteria inhibitor which aids in preventing the growth of the most common forms of cyanobacteria. CYA-NO works by creating an environment that promotes the development of beneficial organisms that compete with the cyanobacteria and help to slowly shift conditions by AquaNerd | Feb 11, 2020 | Supplements
