Jason...Maybe you can explain to us why you would suggest a bottle loaded with cayenne pepper (which is what the main ingredient in Stop Parasite by Chem Marin is..) to treat Popeye?
Did you take the time to read the link on Popeye that Devious provided that explains what causes popeye or how it is treated?

1UCKY..epsom salts? In a reef tank? Not enough salt in there already??

Jose..please follow the advice given in the link that Devious provided and keep us updated on your Hippo. Best of luck to you both!
