Okay so it happened, now what?

[kris4647]

Well I bought very expensive fish. Which were quarantined by the seller for two weeks. Disease free. They weren't, ich on day five. I really dont even hold the seller completely responsible because I know how ich can survive and pop out during stress, right? No scolding about quarantine on my end plz, I feel bad enough.Capture isnt an option, 400 gallons of aquascaped reef tank.


Now to the problem.
Ive had ich before and under the right conditions it has taken care of itself. I cant take a chance with these fish though. I installed a small UV and have ozone but my orp is reading around 400 mv so I'm limited there. [Ive cleaned the probe]

The system only houses a few inverts so far; snails and hermies and one anemone.

Question at hand, they all eat flake food... what would you medicate their food with? Done this b4 with succes, with antibiotics.

Is there any reliable system treatments that I can use and just do extensive water changes to bring my reef back up to invert friendly, later?

Thanks for your time and help

Kris
