any recommended reef safe med for white spots

[LaW]

can try octozin by waterlife.

I remembered must bring down the PH to 1.017 and remove active carbon before dosing Octozin. Pretty effective medication based on my past experience.

Herbtana (Reef version) by Microbe-Lift.

Needs daily, consistent dosages and you have to turn off your skimmer.

Has a tendency to kill small crabs (rock crabs, hairy crabs) but its a good thing! Harmless to larger shrimp like boxers.

Also, might stress featherdusters a bit but doesn't kill them.

Coral safe! =)

There are instructions on the dosage. Skimmer off during the duration of dosing which can take weeks.

Anyone knows how much they are selling and where to get them?

Oops! Sorry forgot to mention that! Thanks.

But thus far, if dosed daily, it works for me. If you're in Clementi you'll need to place an special order with the uncle at Polyart (block 328)

a small bottle (can't rmb the volume) is around 13... I think it was 8oz.

Garlic has been used for many years as immunity boosters, it has been added to various branded fish food from Omega Seas to Sea Chem. In fact, when I used to make my own frozen food, I used to add freshly grated garlic.

But like what Terryz mentioned, these products do not kill ick and frankly I have also never witness any reef-safe products that effectively kill ick. So they only play a supporting role to help the fish overcome the infestation.

IMHO, I feel that ick can only be prevented by creating a stress-less environment and consistent good water parameters. And if ick were to strike, the best way is to remove the fish into a hospital tank for proven medications (non reef-safe) such as copper, formalin etc. The other alternative is to hypo-saline your tank.
