Well i was wondering what are some of the most reliable ick products out there. Ive tried many and they all seem to work up to some extent. If possible, people could give either a fish only system ick medicine and a reef ick medicine or either?

Thanks for any help. Hopefully Ill be able to find something:) :)
 
i started using kent rx p...

i'm on the 5th treatment...don't know if its working though. Some of my snails died and i think its because of the product...
 
In my experience, the most reliable ich cure is free: hyposalinity. Course that's only for a fish only system of course. For a reef, I don't know that there is any medication proven to work. There are several "reef safe" ones available, but to my knowledge none of them are anywhere near as reliable as either copper or hyposalinity, plus a few of them aren't even reef safe at all and will kill some corals. Read this article to see what I mean: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-12/sp/index.php
 
I'm currently treating my puffer with a product called "ich-attack" 100%organic safe for reef and lr aquariums and it will not kill your snails.
So far it seems to be working,
