Fish Ich

[FastUno]

Can anyone in queens help me quarantine some fish & get rid of ich? I can repay with some coral frags.

Thanks

Hey man, no need to quarantine in the reef. I just had the same problem after a tank crack. Use a product called medic for 10 days and it will not harm you filter bed, fish, corals or inverts. My hippo is spotless already. Get it at marinedepot.com. The chemists that make it are polyplab.com. Really a solid product and no I don't work for them. The active ingredients are metronozonol (flagyl) and peroxic acid. I probably spelled them wrong.

Serious? Anyone else use this?
By the time I order this & it arrives...I think the fish will be dead. They are infested now.

Should I give them a freshwater dip? Or will this only stress them more?

Yes, thats it overnight it as I did. Do not fresh water dip or use copper or use malachite green. Trust me on this one, it saved my tank. Phil

I am always very leary of adding any medication to my display tank

So was I but all is well in tankland and this saved my a*ss. Totally his call.
I am just saying what worked for me in a pinch. They are very accessible to discuss as well.

Anyone know if I can get this stuff locally?

Nada, you can keep your skimmer on the entire time you treat your fish as well. I ran carbon (Rowa) in the sump for a few days after I finished to clear the tank.

Fastuno,

I would be careful about adding meds to your display tank as well.
