A friend of mine was telling me about this product that is for reef tanks that is supposed to help with Ich. The name of this "miracle product" is No-Ich Marine. Does anyone know anything about this product. Comments please, thank you.

From all I've read on this board most treatments will
a) Not do a darn thing
b) Kill everything it wasn't suppose too.
I don't know about this specific product or any others for that matter. If you have ich troubles I suggest reading the FAQ sticky and look for hyposalinity. It's the best way I've found to completely cure ich.

I agree with Toughguy.
Unfortunately, there are no "miracle cures" for marine aquaria. Most of these medications will inhibit the growth of ich for a limited part of its lifecycle. Results are very hit and miss.
The only reliable treatments for ich are hyposalinity and copper. Hyposalinity is the preferred treatment as it puts the sick fish under less additional stress.

It is very similiar to Kick- Ich. The active ingrediant is an antiobiotic similiar to metrodonizale, but only for water. It kills Ich in its free swimming mode which breaks the ich cycle. It takes about a month of treatment to kill all the ich so don't listen to the instructions on the back stating use for only 15 days. Ich can take up to 3 weeks for the eggs to hatch. People are going to tell you a lot of advice on this board. A lot of people like to do things the way they are accustomed to, like copper treatments and hypsosalinity. However in my case I have a reef tank with corals, fish, and invertebrates. it would be impssible to move verything and catch everything, with out ripping aparty my tank. Ive used to Kick-ich and have been succesful with it. Also supplement your food with garlic while doing your treatment. It is something that you can't go wrong with. Also i have heard melafix may work to, which can be bought at walmart, however i have no experience with this. Hope this helps and good luck....
