SRC Member theclown Posted September 12, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted September 12, 2019 Firstly, wrong place to post. Secondly, most efficient is to use copper eg cupramine in a qt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member arkal339 Posted September 12, 2019 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 12, 2019 Oh sorry about the wrong place to post. Did not realise it. Thanks for the try will try that. But will harm corals I guess and difficult to catch the fish.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app U can't get rid of the ich in the tank unless u go fishless for 76 days.Another way is to go for hyposalinity treatment.Medic can help control but will not eliminate.

SRC Member theclown Posted September 13, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted September 13, 2019 Yes it will harm coral hence get fishes out into a quarantine tank (qt). And leave the display tank empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Otaku Reefer Posted September 13, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted September 13, 2019 For me, i tear down display and catch all fish to quarantine with cupramine no choice, the “feed well and ich will go away method dont work for me”. Display will go fallow for 3 months. after that outbreak i dare not don’t quarantine.i quarantine with sandbed and marine pure to control ammonia as i tink ammonia also a big killer if u cant keep up with water change in QT, i dose cupramine at half dose and maintain at 0.1 (salifert) works for me, need to dose more with sandbed as they will absorb copper, alternatively you can follow traditional method of bare bottom with sponge filter, i maintain about 2 weeks until no spot seen den change water and do prazipro treatment. after prazi den change water and monitor again, if no spots den likely is clear for display. My 2 cents.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
