Ouch, that sucks, I was not happy with that product at all.

@NITTINID thanks, its comming along very well.

@tkdhav I agree...adding chemicals to your tank...will increase the chance of a crash..and will disturb your eco system.

@Fishyboy1998 A U.V STEROLIZER WILL ONLY GIVE THE FISH A FIGHTING CHANCE,It will not rid infestation.Unless the ick is pumped through the U.V sterolizer..it will continue to feed and reproduce.HYPO SALINITY ALONG WITH RAISING THE TEMP TO 82*F IS THE BEST WAY TO GO IN A NON REEF TANK.RAISING THE TEMP SPEEDS UP THE ICK'S LIFESPAN.. SALINITY LOWER THEN 1.010 IS KRYPTONITE TO ICK...THE COMBINATION OF THE 2 WILL SLOWLY RID THE PARASITE FROM YOUR TANK.GOOD LUCK!!!

@fighter7387 thanks and I did not know that about the ich treatment and wrasses.

fighter7387 - 12 years ago

yep i have used the ICH treatment and i whent out today and got a UV light with pump. but i didnt get home in time and i lost my long noise. i put in the UV in my sump and having it run but the "ICH treatment" i found has somthing that some wrasses are alergic to and kills them. but ty for the vids and kepp us all in update with the new sump.

@fighter7387 Yeah in part 2 I state how I’m not happy with this product and then move to getting a UV, if you have a reef tank you want to combat this with a UV sterilizer, you can lower the salinity to around 31-32 that will help fight it and feeding your tangs with garlic extract.

ok i have bought the exact same thing for my 40 gal tank and my long nose butterfly has ick and i have been throught a hole bottle and it is not gone. and on top of that the same thing happen to my warase as well. i think the treatment is toxic to cleaner wrasses. but it wont eat anything but brine shrimp. any ideas on what i can do?

scott haviaras - 12 years ago

@Fishyboy1998 I would suggest using a UV, you can also lower your suggest lowering your Salinity in your tank as long as nothing else will be harmed as in corals to something around 31-32 PPT but just double check to make sure everything else can handle it. You are doing good to give them the Garlic extract. Keep me posted!

Hi I have a Niger triggerfish and a scopas tang that both have ich ( I live in Scotland so I say White spot) would you recommend using a UV steriliser? I have never used one before, in the past I switched the lights off ( I got told that white spot can't reproduce in the dark is this true?) I feed my tang and trigger algae sheets with garlic extract in it, is there any thing else you would recommend doing? Plz help me???? Thanks

I called no one a noob, just calling out a noob mistake you made, that's all, having a tank like you have in the condition it's in, you are obviously far from being a noob, I am also learning myself and am probably less advanced as you. Not trying to be offensive.
