Follow-up on the aquarium treatment evidence ledger
An audit of 56 saved wording entries, with a closer look at package labels and manufacturer documents for ten open entries.

What the boxes and product documents confirm
We revisited all six conflicts and all four unverified entries from the original scan. DailyMed hosts the US box artwork supplied by Fritz Industries; hosting does not imply FDA approval. An information sheet or indexed FAQ is listed separately from the box it helps explain. No compatibility verdicts were reissued.

What the original scan found
- 6 matched
- Found in a manufacturer sheet or indexed copy. Punctuation differences do not change the wording.
- 40 differed
- A related statement, different scope, or a rewritten instruction was available. This does not make it an exact match.
- 6 had conflicting evidence
- The available material conflicts with the saved wording or exposes different scope between statements.
- 4 were unverified
- The documents found in the original scan did not substantiate the saved statement.
Counts are saved entries, including entries reused across livestock or ingredient records. The original manufacturer URLs may still block direct retrieval. An indexed copy or alternate sheet is labelled as such; neither confirms what is printed on every bottle.
The formulation evidence dates are unchanged. No new compatibility verdict was issued. FishyMag withheld Maracyn Two and MetroCleanse calculations while the source differences are unresolved.
How FishyMag dates its evidenceSource-by-source notes
| Record | Entries | Result | What we found |
|---|---|---|---|
| Algae Clean Out | 2 | Different wording or scope | Indexed Fritz directions retain the freshwater invertebrate restriction, with a differently punctuated list. Read source |
| Algae Clean Out | 1 | Different wording or scope | The indexed page retains copper-free wording and a conditional plant statement, but the saved sentence differs. Read source |
| Algae Clean Out | 1 | Different wording or scope | The indexed FAQ describes reef use when directed. It does not repeat the saved wording or remove the freshwater restriction. Read source |
| Coppersafe | 4 | Different wording or scope | Indexed Fritz wording still addresses invertebrates. The product information sheet separately describes plant and snail effects; neither is the saved sentence. Read source |
| Coppersafe | 1 | Different wording or scope | The manufacturer sheet says the product may harm plants. The saved table wording was not found in the sheet. Read source |
| API Liquid Super Ick Cure | 1 | Different wording or scope | A different size listing has opposing snail answers in its retailer FAQ. The saved sentence summarizes them. API’s own liquid directions remain the primary source. Read source |
| PraziCleanse | 2 | Different wording or scope | The manufacturer sheet uses different general invertebrate wording and specifically excludes tube worms and feather dusters. Read source |
| PraziCleanse | 1 | Matched in manufacturer sheet | The saved plant and other-invertebrate sentence appears in the manufacturer sheet, immediately before its tube worm and feather duster exception. Read source |
| ParaCleanse | 5 | Different wording or scope | The indexed product page uses separate broad invertebrate and plant statements. The saved chart line about snails was not found in that copy. Read source |
| Expel-P | 3 | Matched in manufacturer sheet | The manufacturer sheet contains the saved sentence about the filter, plants and other invertebrates. This does not resolve separate cautionary wording. Read source |
| Expel-P | 2 | Different wording or scope | The indexed directions qualify some snail species. The available copy phrases that qualification differently. Read source |
| Expel-P | 1 | Not established | The available sheet describes a separate coral dip, but did not establish the saved tube-worm and feather-duster wording for aquarium exposure. Read source |
| Expel-P | 1 | Conflicting evidence | Indexed Fritz directions say nitrification is not inhibited. The saved record also quotes earlier wording saying it may be. Direct retrieval remains blocked. Read source |
| Expel-P | 1 | Different wording or scope | The sheet gives the ten-gallon ratio and a next-week repeat, but omits the saved litre equivalent and phrases the schedule differently. Read source |
| Maracyn | 2 | Conflicting evidence | An indexed Fritz FAQ describes most nitrifying bacteria as unaffected. That does not match the saved caution. Read source |
| Maracyn | 2 | Different wording or scope | The sheet addresses invertebrates broadly, without reproducing the saved snail-specific table wording. Read source |
| Maracyn | 1 | Different wording or scope | The indexed directions describe possible yellowing in some sensitive plants; they do not reproduce the saved row or its pond-plant wording. Read source |
| Maracyn | 1 | Different wording or scope | The packet shown in the maker’s sheet names fresh and salt water. The original chart line was not available. Read source |
| Maracyn | 1 | Different wording or scope | The sheet uses a ten-gallon instruction, but does not repeat the saved parenthetical litre figure. Read source |
| Maracyn Two | 2 | Conflicting evidence | The indexed directions use broad invertebrate wording. A separate Fritz FAQ says it has no data on freshwater invertebrates; the snail-specific line was not established. Read source |
| Maracyn Two | 1 | Different wording or scope | The indexed page notes possible yellowing in sensitive plants, without repeating the saved pond-plant row. Read source |
| Maracyn Two | 1 | Not established | The indexed FAQ refers to tested reef animals but does not identify coral species or reproduce the saved coral line. Read source |
| Maracyn Two | 2 | Different wording or scope | The indexed page mentions possible nitrification effects; its bacteria replacement advice appears in a separate combination FAQ, not as the saved general instruction. Read source |
| Maracyn Two | 1 | Different wording or scope | The manufacturer sheet separates the first day from later days. The saved single ratio represents only one stage; arithmetic is withheld. Read source |
| Maracyn Oxy | 2 | Different wording or scope | The indexed page gives broad invertebrate wording with a starfish exception. The saved snail-specific chart row was not found. Read source |
| Maracyn Oxy | 1 | Different wording or scope | The indexed FAQ qualifies the plant statement by mentioning possible yellowing in some finer-leaved or sensitive plants. Read source |
| Maracyn Oxy | 1 | Not established | The available manufacturer sheet did not establish the saved scaleless-species statement. Read source |
| Maracyn Oxy | 2 | Different wording or scope | The manufacturer sheet excludes starfish and related species in prose rather than the saved table wording. Read source |
| FixIck | 3 | Different wording or scope | The indexed directions explicitly name snails among excluded invertebrates, rather than using the saved table wording. Read source |
| FixIck | 1 | Not established | The indexed copy did not establish the saved plant-species qualification. Read source |
| FixIck | 1 | Different wording or scope | The indexed page expressly excludes coral, but does not reproduce the table row. Read source |
| FixIck | 1 | Different wording or scope | The indexed product page addresses scaleless fish in the directions rather than in the saved chart form. Read source |
| Expel-F | 2 | Matched in indexed copy | The indexed manufacturer text contains the saved macroalgae and coral qualification, with a punctuation difference. Read source |
| Expel-F | 1 | Different wording or scope | The indexed product directions retain the same reference volume and preparation context, but the saved sentence is not reproduced. Read source |
| MetroCleanse | 1 | Conflicting evidence | The manufacturer sheet uses a different litre figure and separates broadcast from food directions. No replacement calculator ratio is provided. Read source |
