did anyone try Kent rx-p , i have ich in the tank, all fish are sick, i used Kent rx-p for 4 days now but the fish are getting worst, the white dots are increasing and maron clown, tangs and the angel have cloudy eyes as well and the sailfin tang have large white spots on the fins and tail, like velvet but not sure, any help!!
 
Sounds like your fish are in serious trouble. They are likely lost. The only course of action is to get them out and treat aggressively with copper or hyposalinity very quickly. you may also wan't to do a freshwater dip before placing them in the treatment tank.
 
I can't get the fish out of the tank,
it's a 125 G tank with over 200 pounds of live rocks, and I don't have a large enough tank to host 9 large fish, for 4 weeks, that's why I'm using the Kent rx-p, witch I choose because of the company name, I removed the corals and invert from the tank and kept them in the refujem, they are doing fine in there,

I'm only 4 days into the treatment witch should take about 13 days,
the fish didn't have any white spots or cloudy eyes before I started the treatment, that's why I'm worried,

I'm not sure if it's a side affect of the medication that would clear within the 13 day period or should I discontinue the treatment and break down the tank to save the fish. any one ever used this new medication
 
Break it down. That stuff just doesn't work. I think i tried everything but the only thing that worked was hypo. They sound pretty bad and if you don't move quickly you are gonna lose them all.

I know it sucks to break down a tank of that size(been there done that)

If anything get a bunch of rubbermaid containers and just drain the water into them and the fish will just end up on the bottom of the tank which in turn means you don't have to tear the rock apart.

Then leave them in quarintine tank for 6-8 weeks and leave your tank empty as that is how long the lifecycle can run for ick.

Good luck
 
The patches an cloudy eye are most likely secondary infections.This is a common part of the decline and probably has little ot do with the pepper based Rxp. Just because it's Kent doesn't mean it isn't snake oil.
 
here's the conclusion to my battle with ich, after 7 days of using the new Kent rx-p , I had nothing but trouble, this product is useless against fighting ich, not only that it doesn't affect the parasites what so ever, it also weakened the fish immune system and now they have more parasites and other imperfections as well.
I'm also getting green bubble algae all over the rocks witch I never had before, I followed all the instructions on the bottle and the results was beyond disappointing,
however on the good side this product is defiantly reef safe, so safe it didn't even affect the glass anemones
