I have a White Cheek Tang in my 75g reef that has ich. I haven't been able to catch him to give a freshwater bath, so I was going to try No-Ich. The directions say not to add any other chemicals during the treatment...Does this include a 2 part solution?
I've never tried No-ich. but i've tried pretty much every other so-called "reef-safe" ich medication out there and have had zero success.
Read here for more info. And choose either hyposalinity or cupramine.
Also, freshwater dips/baths do not work. You'd need to do full-blown hypo.
I had a True Percula that had ich awhile ago and gave her a freshwater bath, and it worked great. I don't think that Cupramine would be the answer though being a copper treatment...I'm not about to add copper into my reef tank.
The tang is looking better, and I will probably try to catch him for the freshwater bath. My main concern was if the Calcium and Alkalinity additives will prevent the No-Ich from doing what it's supposed to.
No Reef Safe ich treatment has been proven to work. Fish can develop immunity to ich, which is why some report success with these "Reef Safe" ich treatments.
Freshwater dips/baths don't to anything for ich. They are only affective against velvet and flukes.
i actually know people that have had sucess and have not. Does timing play a large role into it? I never trust these products but its always good to know.
