Are these tangs safe together?

We do not have scientific evidence of the results of garlic in marine systems yet but I am sure that it wont be long. We have many people sharing experiences. I do not, for a second, believe that it will kill ich or any other parasite, but it does show promise for helping with other infections. Do a search. You will find all kinds of interesting information

I actually did do my research and find a lot of sites saying garlic can deliver damage to the parasite itself, but more study is needed. I did all this research years ago when I was fighting ich like no tomorrow. That's when I try all kinds of methods and this worked for me. IF I had put my Naso Tang through hypo or any kind of medication, he will not survive!!! He was very weak at that stage where he is basically skin and bones, I should of taken some pictures of it....I only have my partner as my only witness to back me up on that. We give the fish 24hrs to live since it was laying on it's side and couldn't even swim properly. IF I had not administered treatment with garlic enhanced food directly to his mouth 4+ times per day, he will not be here today. I know there's a lot of argument over this issue with garlic, but this is my view since it did bring my fish back to health. Here's a picture of him, just took it in the middle of writing this....

Thanks
It was years ago when I read about what I said earlier. It's been so long that I don't remember where I've read it. But if you goggle search it, you'll probably find it. The stuffs I stated above was from reefs dot org. To all the other readers, garlic does boost immune system, that's already stated to be true, but anything else is up in the air as they are doing more research since they do not actually know what happens to the product "allicin" within a fish's body. There's much argument to it. Every single site you read, you'll find a little more of this and that, but pretty much stated that MAYBE it CAN do damage to the parasite itself. DO your OWN personal research AND experience it in person before you start arguing with me. Especially IF you have NOT try the method! Not saying sepulatian is arguing with me, we've both been around here long enough to know we're trying to make our own statement and sepulatian give excellent advice!!! This is mainly for those who tries to join in on it....Remember, I've been doing the garlic method for the past 4 years and I have fought ich more then once and I've acquired numerous fish with ich and have conquered ich by using the garlic method....
