1. Most lfs stores dont use garlic because its to large of a scale. They use uv systems and many still separate so they can use a copper based treatment.
2. I dont think it will make a big deal on new aquarists, if anything it will help if they feed their fish garlic treated foods. Most new aquarists do lose fish to ich, because they dont know how to treat them and the lfs stores dont suggest the use of a treatment like garlic.
3. I agree its not the be all treatment for ich but in cojunction with other things, like copper based meds, lowered slainity and treating their foods with garlic & selcon.
