White spot medicine

[Vincenttan]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend any good brand white spot medicine? around how much will it cost?

[weileong]

Don't think there is any medicine that is reef safe yet works well one

[weishun]

Hmm... maybe you can try CURE ICH by Aquapharm. Works well for me, so far my corals have no problems while using this product. But no guarentees.... just my 2cents worth of advise....

[aStRoBo|]

dun use it with clam.. clam will suffer from it..

[weishun]

yes true... thanks for reminding... DO NOT USE IT WITH CLAMS.... as clams are very sensitive inverts....

[lightningstrike]

waterlife octozin. reef safe IMHO. hv used it b4. it works for me. but a few dosage might be required.

Last night, discovered my son's newly acquired yellow tang had ich and I was so worried for my other fish, esp... my moorish and tomini bristletooth.

Dosed the Kent Marine Marine C, Garlic Extreme and kept feeding my prepared food till this morning...all fish declared ich-free by 1pm just now...phew...

IMO...Kent's Marine C is not bad plus the additives/ ingredients used for prepared food help to boost the immunity system in food...so dun 'stinch' on the types of food used to feed your fish.

I have never used medication to its optimum previously...maybe no luck...

sis, the ich in free form mode now ah.....

maybe u monitor for a day more.......

[flubberina13]

yup...I understand...my moorish had ich two weeks ago and was recently cleared...so my tank is on monitor mode liao...

Meanwhile, the only thing to do is to make the water qualitative...

Cannot announce ich free unless you don't see any more dots on your fishes at least for the next 6 weeks

I used to have 4 Tangs ( shhhh don't let Tangs police know ) in small litte 3' tank.

For the first 2 weeks , got ich problem like hell.

So I didn't do anything, not even change the water ( NO3 was almost 50 ).

4 weeks later, all my Tangs were ich free , since than I don't know what is ich like

I guess if you worry to much you would get more

Or I was that luck

u're saying u did nothnig when the fishes got ich/??

ummm.. doing nothing and seeing your fish survive is like really heng suay kind of situation but not exactly recommended for other people to try. Like you stand in middle of xpressway never tio killed doesn't mean everyone else can do the same.

i think ich best dealt with by combination of strengthening fish immune system (garlic and varied diet), low stress condition (good water parameter, less lighting so fish can rest) and some form of ich killer (UV, ozone, etc). Hyposalinating is a good idea as it actually de-stresses the fish but will kill inverts and corals so not always feasible.

[shoelevy]

wah

heng man....ich gone....i know it doesn't mean its ich free but my fishes now ok leaw.

no more white spots on their body...

i did everything...garlic, blackout 48hrs and uv.

thanks for all the advice guys.

verdict, stock up too fast and never let salt dissolve.

thanks!

Hi Sis,

Can you advise on the frequency of your keep feeding means? will it cause high phosphate? Thanks.
