Has anyone tried this product?

Its found at DrFosterSmiths site and it says
"Chem-Marin Stop Parasites
* All-natural parasite treatment for fish and reef aquariums
* Copper-free formula will not harm internal organs of fish
* Safe for all aquarium inhabitants, including reef invertebrates

Stop Parasites' natural ingredients remove all types of parasites, including saltwater Ich. Completely safe for all fish, invertebrates, and corals and does not harm the fish's liver as does copper. This organic solution is 99% effective in fresh and saltwater aquariums. Stop Parasites works by first enhancing the slime coat on fish, which will remove all parasites. Then it uses another additive, which the parasites attach themselves to as a false host, and the parasites are then naturally removed through your protein skimmer or mechanical filtration. Another agent in the product works to speed up appetite and build the immune system. 8 oz treats 30 to 55 gallons and 16 oz treats 75 to 100 gallons for a 5-day treatment period. "

When I had an ich outbreak I used approximately 6 bottles of ich-attack for several treatments (obviously I followed the recommended treatment dosage, but applied several treatments over time) and it did absolutely nothing to get rid of ich. I gave it ample time to do it's work on ich, but the ich got even worse over the treatment period. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, hope this helps!
 
When I had an ich outbreak it was in QT so there was no need for any of this stuff. Hypo did the trick.
 
I also tried the Ich-Attack with no success. My wrasses died from ich. I would not reccomend this product. I have had success with Quick Cure for Ich. I have a friend that has had success with copper for Velvet.
 
People have been looking for a reef safe effective ich treatment for as long as I can remember ... if an effective one was found you can bet everyone would know it. There must be hundreds of reef safe ich products on the market .. unfortunately they just don't work. Beware of the marketing hype .. theres a reason that not one of these products has ever gone to an independent laboratory to support their marketing claims.
