"Morning Ich"

Some say,when the fish appears to have ich in the morning it's because it's really infected with ich. It just happens to be that the fish' skin turns lighter when they are sleeping and when we turn the light on in the morning,the ich that are deeply embeded in their skin would appear because of the light coloration.
 
Not to sound high and mighty, but have none of you battled ich before? It's a cyclic disease. The mornings are always the worst, as it "hatches" overnight and re-attaches to a host, your fish. By the evening it falls off into the substrate to repeat. Any reefsafe ich medicine is designed to disturb this cycle, usually the re-attaching part.

Many parasites act the same way.
 
Ok, I bought some organic Kick Ich today, I dosed the tank and shut off my skimmer, hopefully it will rid my tank of ich. Can't get the 90 for a while so I guess they will just have to wait it out.
