Default Re: ich break out

I would remove the fish by hand if you can get them out. Do a search hear on RB and research everything you can with ich. The only proven way to get rid of ich is to treat all of the fish in your tank in a q-tank using hyposalinity or copper. Either method must be done in a q-tank because it will kill your LR and inverts. There are no reef-safe treatments for ich. Out of the ones that claim to be reef safe, some of them will kill inverts and the others don't work.
