Has there been any folks here has tried this product?I see it's reef safe,as for corals ect.The fish is impossible to catch as for the rock and corals.He does have a small dose of Ich.The stuff isn't cheap to buy.But was wondering how many of us really tried their product?Just wanted to find out,if it's as good as their site says?Especially the cost factor, but that ok,as long as it's treats the fish?
Thanks
 
If it's a tang, clown, or angel, you're really better off taking him out to qt and treat with hypo or copper. You're likely to lose him if not.
If it's any other species, dosing with garlic might work.
I would, personally, do anything including draining my tank [a lightning fast big-pump drain-out and re-watering] to catch said fish before I added any ich treatment to my tank. I've just never heard of a cure with that approach and I've heard of way too many disasters.
At very least, get your water params to immaculate for sps corals, and that will help your fish throw it off if they can. That's another reason I'm skeptical of whole-tank cures: at the very time the water needs to be the best, you're doing something that might adversely affect the system, including depressing the tank bacteria.
 
Thanks for your reply there.That's why I wanted to post this.As these different products come out today,some are good and some aren't.I was thinking the same thing you posted also.Their site says one thing,but you have to wonder.Especially with chemicals added to a system,where SPS are growing.It doesn't take much for them to react,as for RTN/STN.But glad to hear at least some feed back.I just thought I was the only thinking this.I guess you can say,just trying to go the easy way out.When it comes to this,the old fishing net comes into play here again.
 
You have a huge tank---but if you got a pump with an inch hose, you could drain into barrels fast enough that your corals would take no harm of the exposure to air [except sponges]...

Fish gather in the lowest part of the sand, where they can be netted.

Water replaced as fast as it went out. Test water for ph change, etc, but it's the fastest, gentlest, least reef-destructive method I know of. Once I learned how to do it, I never had any doubt I could get just about anything out of the tank that I determined had to come out.

I also bought some of the product you mention, but thought better of using it. And the fish recovered on its own with good water and garlic, anyway. Probably I have ich in the tank, but it's been over 2 months since any showed up, so either everyone has it and is keeping it secret, or it's gone. I have mostly gobies, blennies, dragonets and dartfish, with one damsel, and all of them are ich-resistent---so I really don't look to see it turn up again. [What brought it into my tank was a rabbit, and he went back to the lfs, who cured him with garlic and hypo, before he went to another home.]

I wish you luck with yours!
