Have you tried it yourselves? Curious to know the effectiveness.
Some forumers have had bad experience with Ocean Free medications... once bitten twice shy...[]
But if you have good results please share.

actually find it a chore to move the fish to another tank to cure them ... but with this ocean free herbal treatment i can just pour in the required amount into the tank ... and jus 3 days my tetra's white spot are cleared ... left with clown loach and cardinal ... the rest are superb without any spot on it ...

i'd wait to see if the ich comes back after another few days or so
it might be that all the adult ich reproduced and the young fell off into the water, waiting for new hosts
but if it doesn't, good for you
1 up for ocean free too
The spots usually go off after 3-4 days (temperature dependant). The spots (cysts) that dropped off will then multiply in the gravel (1-2 days) and become free swimming after that. They have 2-3 days to look for a host this is the only time that medication will have an effect on them.

before i introduce a heater ... i pour in bout 3 ml in my 2ft ... the next day white spots on my neon are gone ... untill i introduce the heater in now ... my cardinal's colour came back and white spot are less visible ... continue for next 14 days to cure them totally and 7 more days to prevent them frm being infected again ... two thumbs up for Ocean Free
tried it for 4 days running.
whote spots still there. not as much but still there.
think it killed my ottos
n after using about 15ml (1ml per 10 litres is the treatment dosage)a day i finished the whole bottle within a week.
no offense to anyone who found the thing useful but i think its CRAP []
going back to using salt. at least its cheaper.

I've personally tried Interpet's anti-ich med. Work fine - didn't even affect my shrimp population. Anyway, always underdose medication - sometimes you need only a small amount to cure the fishes, if you put in too much - may become an overkill literally.
if you underdose. you risk creating medication resistant strains.
T2 works for me... when I first started, my whole population of Cardinals and Neons are down with the same tiny White Spot.
I use Herbal T1 with no effect, so used T2 to followup and found that the spots are gone in a few days! Actually I underdose the medication. Hopefully the bacterial don't develop a resistence and comes back!

"Most" LFS selling it looks like this:
Ocean Free Herbal
First Pic is the breakdown of disease, and the recommneded Herbal treatment.

For me, I'll stick with salt... tried and tested, and cheap too!

not sure if it's overdose of T2 (put 20ml for my 270l tank), my fishes have been dying everyday since 5 days ago, when I first introduced T2.
I think the total death toll could be around 5 rummy noses, 8 cardinals, 1 swordtail, 1 ram etc.
I am really worried.
I tested water conditions for PH, Ammonia, and Nitrite, seems all right.
My tank is abt 6 mths old, pretty stable, except some isolated problems with Whitespots, which haven really kill my fishes like the rate I am seeing now.
Strange thing is that the fishes look perfectly healthy and active, with great appetite, not grasping for air. But every few hours I checked the tank, there seems to have some new deaths. "puzzled"....
anyone has similar experiences?
more often then not, white spot is the syptom and not the root cause. It may be good to check water condition especially for high NO2 or NO3 values. I will agree with Allen that salt is the way to go for White Spots....if not drop in some 1 cent or some other copper stuff
