black ick? has any one heard of this, in our FOWL tank, we have a yellow tang with black spots, like pepper. the LFS says its black ick, treat it with organi cure. what do you think of black ick and the organi cure?
here's how the tank got it. the LFS sold us a sick angel fish, I told (my husband) not to buy it, but he did any way, it got really ugly in the tank, the angels eyes got clouded over Then the clown trigger decided to pick out both of the angels eyes.
well you could only guess what happened next.
the next day most of the tank had ick, now this black ick. some of the fish have rubbed a open wound on them, and a visitable parasite is on the other half. needless to say that LFS will do nothing but give us the organi cure for free.

I have decided to to drive 20 miles now, just for salt and what ever else we need. to bad huh?
 
hyposalinity, either a few weeks at 1.009 specific gravity, or short 5-10 minute baths in fresh water that has the same ph and temp as the tank water. Please research it, I'm not a fish doctor.
