Where is the best place to get Microbelift Herbtana?

Title says it all. I live in the Valencia area and about 4 days ago my hippo tang showed signs of getting ick. I think it's because I stated getting all my minerals in their proper ranges, and I ended up boosting my alkalinity from 1.7 to 2.5 in about 1.5 days. Whether that's the reason or not, he's got the ick. I've started using some selcon and vita-chem, and I might start using garlic, because I've read that it MAY help although it's never been proven. I wanted to have this herbal supplement on hand and give it a try as well. Maybe alternate between medications as needed. If anybody has used Microbelift Herbtana before and/or knows where to get it, it would be much appreciated.

On a second note, my sailfin tang had ick for about a day and it's gone already. No other fishes have ick and no other inverts or corals show signs of distress; just my hippo tang.

Thanks, Derek
 
Ich has different life cycles, so it may disappear from a fish temporarily but still be in your system. A healthy fish that eats well should fight off ich.

I haven't lost a fish to ich in over 5 years and I never treat for it.
 
Ok ray. I kind of figured that but was trying to cover all my options. I’ll just keep feeding him what ever he wants, which is everything.
 
If you have the extra funds, I have found that using ozone really helps as well with ich. I use an Ozotech unit on my skimmer and have 6 tangs in my system. I have never lost a fish since hooking up my unit last year including my ich magnet Achilles tang.

Just my opinion but save your money, As i tried Herbtanna and saw no results at all! Plus it runs about 25.00 a bottle around here and smells like furniture polish (Not in my tank) ever again.
JMO, Garlic guard soaked food will help more than that stuff.

Don't waste your money on garlic PRODUCTS either. Most of the beneficial compounds in garlic dissapate quickly after it is crushed. If you are going to use garlic, just buy a few cloves and crush and use it at the time of feeding. Chomp on a clove or two yourself while you are at it... good stuff.
 
My regal tang would get spots every time I was in the tank. They would go away within a day though. Now I guess he's use to the five fingered fish and doesn't get stressed as much when I'm doing maintenance.
