no-ich

hi, i want to know if i can use no-ich product with corals?:reading:
?

I wouldn't use it regardless. Coppert in a QT tank is best (and only way in my opinion) to cure ich. Don't bother with any products. They mask the parasite until either a) the fish dies or b) it builds up an immunity. Either way, the parasite is never out of your system.

So get some cupramine, a 10 gallon tank, a heater, a sponge filter. Put your fish in it. Keep them in it for 6-8 weeks. Treat with copper for 4 in the QT only. At the end of the 6-8 week fallow period, put the fish back in your DT.

There is absolutely no way to treat ich in a tank with corals or other inverts. This is probably the most common topic in this forum. Anyone who develops a reef-safe ich med will be a true hero in the hobby. I'm glad you asked first, many fish are lost while wasting trying to cure fish with something that doesn't work. Please read the ich sticky's above, vital info.

I have used products and can say that there is no reef safe way to treat ich... be careful with meds!

Yea, no ich sucks.... I tried it to hold me over until I had time to do qt with copper and all it did was cost me a bunch of money. Like stated doesn't kill ich

Due to only having a few corals and crabs.... I yanked all that stuff and am in the process of a hypo treqtment
