ok well the blue tang is better now i have to treat the main tank so i got some no-ich on order because i have some ich on my lemon peel and my sailfin

[reefnoob1991]

If you read that link it states that some methods are iffy at removing it and the best way to do it is to keep the tank fishless for 6 weeks.

[crxman]

right but i have corals and bta's in the tank so i have to use no-ich

[reefnoob1991]

What do the corals have to do with leaving the tank with no fish? Ich doesn't affect corals but I'm sure the chemicals will probably stress them

[crxman]

ive had no probs with the no-ich and corals and i only have a 20gal qt tank thats way to small to put all the fish in there and i need to kill what ich is in the main tank or they will get it when i put them back in the main tank

[e_baer]

I hear ya. I will say again that I have used kick ich and it killed my bta, but no-ich may be better.

[crxman]

ya i had heard that kick ich is not as good as no-ich and it is a water downed ver of no-ich. i have used no-ich and it had no probs with my corals and btas

The unfortanate truth to ick, is your DT must be fishless for 8 weeks to be certain you have gotten rid of MI.

Here's a good read on the issue, i got this from here, can't remember who posted it. But very informative.

Somebody stole my linkkk

[reefcouple]

I stole it Brandon, you passed it along to me and i bet i read it 6 times looking for "loop holes" or exceptions lol

[reefnoob1991]

Well atleast someone reads it and takes advice around here lol...

[reefcouple]

It didnt tell me what i wanted to hear thats for sure, but i know i better change how i have been doing things if i ever want a true enjoyment from this crazy hoby...

Otherwise everytime i add a fish its a crap shoot and i just cringe when i see a spot.....

so its shopping time this wknd...

And i really appreciate the link brandon, thanks man...
