Got It.....(ick)

[vito is hooked]

ALL My QT Tanks are FULL. IM SREWED! Started Garlic (kents Garlic Extreme) soaking alge and frozen brine. Should I use fresh minced too? Fish are eating and VERY plump, look good exept for the ICK! (L) DORI (L) Yellow Tang (L) French Angel Royal Gramma Mandarin

don't waste your time and money on the natural products they don't work, and if they did then you got lucky, treat with copper ASAP to save your fish, I used almost everything out there and only copper works, hypo salinity will work only if you treat on the first sign of ick, and it will take 4- 6 weeks but you say that all your fish are sick then copper is your only choice for fast cure

Are the infected fish in your display or QT tank? if they are in QT, i suggest starting Copper ASAP.

Infected fish in main They are to big for 10 gal QT tanks I have. I have a 125 in my garage should I put 1/2 my water from main with 20 gal premixed with couple of power heads and heater and start copper?

Yes, move them out of your main into a QT. Garlic will help, but copper is theraputic. Be sure to test copper levels daily while dosing.
