Hello!

I am pretty sure it is reef safe. Here is their website, it says reef safe.

We had the rep come to our reef club meeting, they are real nice... and people there (members) had good things to say about the melafix.

Good luck with the tank

 

thank you for the site but should i keep the protien skimmer off while i medicate so the protien skimmer dont pull the meds out

 

Yes, turn that protien skimmer off. It will probly make the skimmer go beserk. I assume you are using this for the popeye and not the Ick. Melefix works great with my cichlids. Fortunatly I haven't had to use it for any of my marine fish yet.
