Treating Early Detection of Ich.

Yesterday I detected a small amount of ich on some of my fish. Both my 10G. tidewater and my 20G. reef are infected (I knew this was inevitable from the begining). Both tanks water parameters are fine (ammonia=0, nitrates=2.0, PH=8.2, Calcium=450). I have been soaking their food in freshly crushed garlic from the beginning.

 

I added too many iverts and marine life to my QT (now the tidewater tank) to use copper, etc... I also purchased a 2" Skunk Cleaner shrimp for my 20G. reef.

 

I am also trying a product which came highly recomended by a reef keeper of 20+ years.

 

The product he recommended is Kent Marine's Rx.P. Its ingrediants are deionized water, natural plant extracts, pepper, stabilized vitamin C, and stabilizers.

 

My tanks are still very young (6 weeks and 3 weeks) so I am not risking too much in the loss of small inverts and corals (I only have a couple of sand polyps and sun polyps that came with my LR), larger inverts are not supposed to be effected by its use.

 

I am monitoring my small feather dusters closely for adverse signals. If I discover any adverse reactions I can remove the Rx.P with activated carbon.

 

My question is: Has any body used this product (Kent Marine's Rx.P) before?
