reef safe ick

[mikeperkins]

I have a hippo tang with a small case of ick in a reef tank with several other fish and nice soft corals. I read the sticky post on proven ick treatments and none seemed to be reef safe. I do not have a hospital tank so any treatment would need to be in my main tank and with all of the rock i'm not sure I could get the fish out if I wanted to. I do have a UV. I was wondering if anyone has had success under similar circumstances

unfortunately there is nothing out there that is 100% reefsafe AND Effective at eradicating ich at the same time. Your options are doing a QT or ich management. I personally didn't have any success with ich management route and ended up losing almost all my livestock years ago. If thats the route you are going to go, feed a good varied diet enriched with vitamins and selcon, keep stress down and keep water conditions pristine and hope for the best.
