AHHHH!!! I have Ich

Also you can try a new product from zeovit, Dan at Aquatic Addictions can tell you what it's called, seems to work great and all you do is mix it in your fishs food befor you feed.

Well the ich is winning
I've lost the Coral Beauty and the Powder Brown Tang

How do I do a fresh water dip?
want to try that on my Clown and Foxface

I'm feading garlic, got the temp up to 82deg and using Paracide Green, they just keep getting worse.

Very frustrating

Most people learn to live with ich. All those home remedies of garlic, cleaner shrimp, UV etc probably help keep ich in a chronic low level state within a tank. You're happy as long as you don't see the spots - which are only a visible symptom of the parasite infection. However, once the infection gets serious and fish start dropping left and right your only course of action if you want to save any fish is to remove either all the fish or all the live rock/inverts and start hyposalinity and/or copper treatment. These are the only two things that are scientifically proven to KILL ich (crytocaryon irritans).

First of all you can turn your heater back down. Temperature doesnt speed up the life cycle of the ich parasite like it does with fresh water ich. There are several "reef safe" ich cures on the market(kick ich, no sick fish, prazi pro(I think thats what its called)) that have worked for some. None have worked for me personally. If you dont have alot of coral you could house it temporarily in a rubbermaid and try hypo-salinity in the display. Garlic and a good vitamin like selcon in the food will help increase the fishes chances of fighting it off. Best of luck.
