Kusuri Fluke S - 100g
Kusuri Fluke M x 2 twin pack- 130g x 2
Kusuri Fluke P - 1ltr

I keep a bunch of stuff just because I live nowhere near anywhere I could buy things. Most of it will languish in the cupboards unused because my fish don’t get sick often.
Generally:
some Koi sedate, various topical wound cleaners, antibacterial stuff and sealers.
Some generic Prazi and Flubendazole powder (which I also use to worm my chickens)- acetone to dissolve it in
ICC from Duncan G
MG
Chloramine T powder
PP crystals
Acriflavine
75kg of PDV salt
N.B. If you ever keep a formalin containing product- beware because if the formalin crystallises it becomes very toxic. If you’re in any doubt it’s safest to throw it away and buy new. Personally I don’t use formalin often at all so I don’t keep any in stock.2016 new 6000 gallon pond

ICC is Duncan Griffith’s secret recipe Product Page
Prazi and flubendazole are fluke treatments. I don’t buy the commercial products based on them as is costly for a large pond, so I buy the active ingredients and make them up myself.2016 new 6000 gallon pond

I just bit the bullet and ordered, what I had on list, I cancelled the formalin and added kusuri malachite green and kusuri pro, at least I've stuff here incase things go belly up.
What do you add to your pond to keep it tip top and fish clear of illnesses etc?
I've started using Envirex here and Activex for the Easypod that runs my grow on and for bio side of drum which runs the pond.

I did email on his site but didn’t get a response so half assumed it wasn’t active anymore?

I think it’s dye based (possibly MG and methylene blue with something else, possibly acriflavine) and I don’t think it contains formalin. But I don’t know and I’m pretty sure Duncan won’t tell you If you want to use it with sturgeon or anything else non-koi then you would need to ask him as I can’t recommend you use something that I don’t know the ingredients of.
It’s very good for resistant costia with salt at 0.6% concurrently, that’s why I keep some in stock;2016 new 6000 gallon pond
