Another problem HELP!!

[rusty]

OK my yellow tang has ich ... I think. Little white spots on his fins and body. I don't know what to do, he is in a reef tank so medicating the tank is out of the question, should I leave it and see if it passes or pull it out into another tank ,I would have to set on up

Here is a recent thread on ich:

By fresh water dip can somebody explain how to do this. I don't have the equipment for a hospital tank. maybe explain the garlic thing to , do they eat the garlic?

[Beverly]

A fw dip is largely useless for curing ich, as quoted in the thread, so I wouldn't bother going that route.

The garlic method is to soak all their food in products like Kent's Garlic Xtract before feeding.

Hospital tank is the best way on curing a ich using a copper or hyposalinity. Read on the thread lot is explain on curing ich.
