I have an ich outbreak in my 25 and 20 system (connected).
I am considering Kordon Ich-Attack, it claims to be reef/invertebrate safe.
The problem is getting the damsel and gramma out of the 25. They won't even take a #30 fish hook tipped with mysis. My last resort is a commercially made plexi trap. I tried the soda-bottle trap for over a week and it didn't work at all.
There is enough rock and coral in the 25, zip tied together and frags glued in ways that make it almost impossible to dismantle the tank without destroying corals by accident. Honestly I would rather lose the damsel and gramma than risk the corals (I realize how bad that sounds).
I know the final end-all cure-all for ich is quarantine, and keep the tank fish free for 8 weeks... but getting the gramma and damsel out is just not going to work without a 3-hour tank tear-apart.
