Does not work, in my opinion. I know someone who swears by it, said it works every time he has used it.

I have tried it in a 46G display tank and followed the instructions exactly and it just gave the fish some temporary relief but the fish still ended up being removed and placed in Hyposalinity. I now use it when a new fish shows signs of ich during the first few days of Hypo. At the start of hypo ich attacks like crazy and I have found that Stop Parasite does seem to distract some of the parasites long enough to get the salinity down to 1.008. Before doing this, I lost many fish during the start of hypo. I will not use it in any display tanks again, only in my hypo tanks.

Funny you would make the comparison to hot sauce. Stop Parasites along with many other alleged reef safe ich meds is pepper based. It irritates the fish so it produces extra slime coat. The goal with these meds is that with the extra slime coat that the ich wont be able to attach to the fish.
I have tried Stop-Parasites and found it to be worthless. However it does go great on Nachos!!!

My False Pecula Clown survived.. His coat up until I started the hypo looked awful... Lots of skin blotches. 4 days into hypo SG at 1.009 his coat is perfect. He is back to a bright orange skin..... No signs of ich anywhere....
