How big are the frozen cubes after you cut them?
Thanks
On my Jar of chopped garlic (Christopher Ranch) it also contains Soybean oil, olive oil & citric acid will these other ingredients do any harm?
This is the same stuff that you get in jars in the produce section!

About the size of a sugar cube. I alternate days with Formula 1 or 2.
I wouldn't use anything with oil in it. It could affect the foam production in the skimmer and make a film on the water that could affect oxygenation. I used Gilroy Farms minced garlic. It's garlic, water and citric acid. Better yet, crush a clove and soak it in a little water in the fridge for a few days. Use just a few drops of the water for the whole batch when you make the frozen food.

Sorry to hear about the clam, but I can't believe 2 drops would cause that kind of damage. Unless clams are super sensitive, you'd have to add much more than 2 drops to a 120 to cause more than minor irritation. I've added much, much harsher things with zero effects on pods, shrimp, clam, fish, softies, etc. Could it possibly have been the ozone, garlic or ginger?
COReefer,
Did your ich go away?
I just finished setting up my 225 and picked up a purple tang from someone getting out of the hobby. Three days after putting the Tang in the tank he has ich and has given it to my Naso Tang. My Yellow appears to be ich free at the moment. I just hooked up my ozone.
So I should start feeding foods with garlic, and possibly ginger? Anything else you did? I'm going to pass on the tobasco. I have 13 fish and there is no way to catch them all and move them to hyposalinity QT for 6 weeks.
Care to loan me your luffa sponge? My Purple could sure use a good scrubbing.
Thanks.
Jeff

Chances are the ich was already present with the other fish or dormant in your system. I'd just let it run its course and feed nutritious foods with selcon and garlic. Give the ginger a shot but don't count on it in the end. Good water quality and low stress levels seem to be the most effective. Eventually te fish will adapt to its new surroundings and will fight it off.
Good luck!
