      Oxolium is a product from Argent labs. It is a reduced level of Oxolinic Acid. Argent went out of business several years ago and this product was discontinued. However I have heard that Argent products are currently being made again. I do not know of a vendor on here carrying them. However I did see them on the internet. I do not know if it is the same strength or dosages. So double check to verify it is the same before using any dosages from previous threads posted here.

      There is an Oxolinic Acid calculator in the tool bar at the top of the home page screen on this site to help with that.

      Cascade Pond Supply is a vendor here and does carry Oxolinic Acid (not oxolium) but they do not appear to carry PP.

      Many hardware chains do carry PP. It may save hazmat shipping charges if you can get it at a store near you.

      Please be careful as oxolinic acid is does NOT work well as a bath and should be used as an in pond treatment. If your Koi have something bacterial then just treating your Koi doesn't solve the problem as it is in the water. I know someone that did this. His Koi briefly got better but within days of being back in the pond the started getting sick and dying again. OA as a bath does nothing long term.

      All of the dealers selling OA also do NOT have the correct dose rate for ponds either. Also do not use the dose rate from the calculator here for an in pond OA treatment as it is horribly wrong. I entered 3,800 gallons and the correct dose rate is 1.52 grams and the calculator shows 359 grams. This is some dangerous stuff.
