has anyone use Kordon ICK Attack before?

[reefmedown]

Have u ever use it in it main tank?? Are they really reef safe? In the product description says it may kill some coral.

I have a fish has white spot , it all gone for the first day I used. I did cure in different tank. I'm happy with the product.

There are NO reef safe ich remedies. None. You either got lucky and your fish was able to fight off visible signs of ich but it still has the parasite or the parasite has gone from the visible stage where the parasite is visibly on the fish to the other stages where it falls off the fish and into the substrate where the cycle will begin again. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there because it is. Ich can be under the scales, in the gills etc. This is guaranteed and if your fish had it in your main display, it is still in there unless your display was fishless for upwards of 72 days.

Snake oil.
As slief said, DT fallow 72 days and fish treated for ich in a separate system is the only way to rid your tanks of ich.
Good luck!

My lfs told me to feed well and feed variety to try and keep their immune system up. I have tried the ick attack a few years ago. All my corals were fine and my fish survived. I'm not sure the ick attack had anything to do with it though.

You cured nothing sorry to say, you still have ich in your tank.

I agree with slief though, follow his directions if you want a ich free tank.

Exactly.

can i turn my temperature up to 90?? i know ick die at this degree, but can coral live with that for 1 week ?

90* will most certainly kill corals and stress the fish even more if that doesn't kill them too.
You really only have a few options to rid your fish and tank of ich and they all involve proper QT and treatment of the fish and a lengthy fallow time in your main tank. Raising the temps to 90* cetainly isn't one of them. Also, I don't think ich will die at 90*. Elevated temps above 85* just speed up their life cycle stages of ich but that doesn't mean that the parasite is gone from the tank or fish. That just means that you accellerate the speed of which it goes from one stage to the next. Like I said, just because you don't see it on the outside of the fish, doesn't mean it's not in the gills or under the scales or in your substrate etc.

I would strongly suggest you avoid that and read the ich/crypto stickies in the disease section of this forum.

That is not correct. Fresh water ich (which is a totally different species) are sensitive to higher termperature; salt water ich is not. Higher temperature means lower dissolved oxygen; for ich infected fish, that will be fatal.

There are no silver bullets for ich except, perhaps, tank transfer.
