I'm having horrible trouble with Ich... I have a 120 w/ LR and Inverts, - oh, and Ich. My hospiatal tank is too small to put all my fish in 30G to treat with Cuppermine. I have tried Rx with no luck (several bottles) in my tank. Has anyone found anything else that may help?? (i've been soaking food in garlic and vitamins and turned my 36w starilizer back on).

Please help!!

thank you...

I have also heard good things about nosickfish.com also. I have not used as I am quite sceptical. If you do use it, please keep us informed.
 
thanks guys. any other takers on this medication? anyone try it? its quite expensive as medications go, but worth everthing if it would work. i can't search now as the search engine is full and i wanted to find and answer soon so that i can make a decision.

I have no idea, but I did see that they were a RC sponsor. I also searched for "nosickfish" and "no sick fish" and didn't come up with very much.

Please let us know if you decide to try it..

Thanks,

I have an ich outbreak right now also. I am using Kick Ick and seem to be having success. Is supposedly reef safe.

Once you get the ich under control put a UV sterilizer on the tank to help prevent future outbreaks..
 
ok, i bit the bullet guys. thanks very much for your suggestions, i appreciate it. i read the feedback on the nosickfish.com website and it seems that people love it.

-$48 later... hopefully it will have been worth it. i will definately let you know, we're all looking for something that may actually work. - and maybe next time i won't be dumb enough to put a non-quarantined piece of LR in my tank...

thanks again,
D
 
Please update about how this worked as I had ich before and finally gave up as I did everything and stressed them out getting them to QT and they died anyway. It's always so frustrating. I did add a UV and I haven't had ich since; the tank anyway!
 
I was at MACNA in D.C. and I stopped by their booth. I received a couple of free samples for ich and cloudy eye. When I returned home to my VerySickFish, I started dosing them as directed.

It has been four days since then and I must say that the fish are looking much better. They are moving better and eating. In fact, my large Tusk fish which I thought for sure was a gonner, has revived and is doing much better. They are not cured yet, but they are hopefully on their way.

I am not endorsing this product yet, nut I am very excited by the preliminary results.
 
The description of their ich treatment on their web site talks only about the freshwater disease, Ichthyophthirius. Do they recommend it for saltwater, too, or is their web page a bit out of date?
 
I was told by my LFS that Seachem's metronidazole is all they use anymore. They said they have had great results and it's reef safe. It's seems to work for me too. It's in a powder form and you add so many spoonfuls every other day. You can also mix into their food.
 
Where do you get that jmack?

I ordered some NoSickFish medication. As soon as it arrives, I can try it out and I'll report the results. Course, I have no fish infected right now. They all died. Have four Chromis, a six-line, and a diamond Goby. None are showing any symptoms, but of course they could still be carriers. I want to make sure any ich is dead in the tank before I start QT'ing new fish.

Lost:
Three blue tangs,
three perculas
a Foxface
a Bicolor Angel
a Picasso Trigger
a Purple Psuedo
