Copper question/garlic question

[porkchop48]

My be a dumb one but at what level should the copper be at to successfully treat the fish.


And when people say they treat with garlic? Liek youbuy at the store or fish food with garlic added? Fresh? Chopped? Minced
SO confused

remember NOT to use copper in a tank that you have any kinds of corals in.. or plan on keeping corals in. Copper will kill your corals.
If you do have corals.. the best way to treat is to move the fish to a QT and treat them there.

Garlic extract is what they are talking about I believe... and it doesnt actually kill the ich, but it will help stimulate the fishs' appetite and thereby also helping to boost the fishs' immune system.
