ich

I've had recent good results with:
Raise temp up to 81 - speeds up life cycle
Soak food in liquid garlic - I feed twice a day
Room really smells like garlic but seems to work.

My tangs were covered bad , really bad . Doing fine now . After the garlic gets in their system it seems to repel the parasites . Like bug spray .
IMO

Good luck

Peter, there are no proven 'reef-safe' additives/medications for Marine Ich.
If there were, methods such as hypo salinity, tank transfer, and even quarantine in general, would be things of the past.

I've found to catch the fish & put him in a newly set up QT is more stressful . If the fish is happy & eating , I usually just leave him in his home .

Thanks for the help, unfortunately setting up a quarantine right away isen't an option for me right now but is something I will do for the near future.

Im feeding my tang a little bit of new life spectrum ick guard and mysis soaked in fresh crushed garlic
Also picked up a UV sterilizer rated for 250gallons which hopefully will help with the situation

Im dosing polyp lab's medic and reducing stress and hopefully she can come back on her own


Thanks again for all the advice and wish me luck
