Does it plays apart? my test kit use finish recently

how old is ur tank?

wat are the LS? did u recently add any fish?

feed it with garlic soaked food.

get a fan lower the temperature if u didnt run a chiller or fan.

or get some reef safe medication like "waterlife"

UV helps abit but costly.

good luck

care to share ur water parameters with us? Also, how long has the tank been set up and what all is in it? More info would help narrow down the potential cause. Sometimes sub standard water quality can bring this about.

Bro, once your tank infested with white spot(ick) you have to treat the whole tank with medication liao.Gd luck.

I agree that the parasite is always in the tank but not in large numbers.Thats why we need to quarantine new LS.As for his case, the whole tank may be infested liao.

My tank abt 7mths old. Clam, bubble, mushroom, cleaner shrimps all no problem. I onli recently feed garlic but then too late. One by one the fishes die. Even domino which been in my tank for 5mths oso got the ick and dies. Surprisingly cleaners do very well inside. I use a fan btw.

[Reefbum]

Bro Ken, maybe you can try starve the parasites to death by not intro any new fish for time being. Otherwise you got to treat your tank.

[KennethK]

Funny mrthod. then i have to transfer the fishes and shrimp and corals?

[Star Polyps]

Think this is time for you to introduce cleaner wrasse

[KennethK]

Bro, I hv almost similar problem with u. Recently I moved from a 3 ft to a bigger and deeper 4ft tank. Although I used back the LR (lots of it) and some of the old sands with good bacteria, the water parameter must hv deteriorated badly as I also got white spot problems in the new tank. After I introduced a powder blue tang, the fish developed whitespots and spread to the others within a few days.

Now, my Asfur, yellow tang and flame angel - which I hv for as long as 1 year - all 'went up lorry' (died) alreadi. I hv been treating tank with AquaPharm ProSeries CureIch for about a week now. My Racoon, blennies, damsel and clown seem to be fighting the ICK. One of the clown looks bad and I don't think going to make it. I understand I hv to continue treatment for at least three weeks. I also installed a UV. Hopefully, things get better for me....n u too.

I used garlic to mix with food, the whitespot now on and off. Think can control after awhile. I dip some garlic into the water oso. NO UV lights used. Sign of improvement. I usae kent marine's garlic.
