Masoch Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hi, I've been though ich. The only sure-fire thing to do (and you aren't going to want to hear this) is to get a cheap 5 or 10 gallon tank, some cheap filtration (bio-wheel or sponge filter), and a heater. You have to make a hospital tank for your critters. If you have a refractometer, do hyposalinity. Otherwise, use copper. You have to keep your display tank fishless for at least 4 weeks to get rid of the parasite. For more info, look at the disease forum at ReefCentral. In-tank treatments are hit and miss ... mostly miss. In the long run, you'll glad you have the hospital / quarantine tank. Link to comment
