ich is gone.... ruby's worked?

[mhills16]

well, my fish are as healthy as i have ever seen them now, all the ich fell off. I just wonder if the ruby's kick ich killed the free swimming? seems to have atleast contributed something and i just wanted to let people know that because heck, who knows lol maybe this stuff works? only time will tell, i would love to take my water somewhere and have it looked under a microscope to see if i still have any ich in the water. all i know is that i am very happy and now stress free, i dont know if ruby's worked but it is what i used and only what i used. no new fish for atleast 6 weeks to make sure!

ick usually falls of the fish as part of the cycle they encapsulate them selves this is the stage when they can not be killed usually they will hatch from there capsules in i beleive 24 hrs and reinfect any stressed hosts or fish

yeah i know, but i have been treating the tank with rubys kick ich for over a week, so, it might have killed the free swimming, but who knows, i am going to also treat it with stop parasite starting next week, so, between the two of them, i bet it will accomplish my goals... but, they are reef safe treatments, which, according to some work, and according to most dont, so, only time will tell, my fingers are crossed! i need to get it taken care of before i deploy again! mike

i have heard nothing but good from that product. I really never trust those "Reef safe" prodcuts though, just me. I hope you the best! Keep up posted.
