Copper!?!?!?

[good alex]

shes in the qt still and im not familiar with maracyn 2, but i will look for it, umm can you tell me more about it, is it invert safe, because the 55(QT now) i have plans to make it a reef once this ich problem is done, so thats why i would like to know is it like copper, and gets absorbed into the tank or rocks or sand?

Also could you tell me what caused this bacterial infection? for two reasons
1) so i can make sure i never do it again, or to prevent this from happening again.
2) so maybe if i stop doing it it will go away or stop getting as big.
and another question, can this bacterial infection kill the fish, will i leave scars once healed?

ok so i was on the internet looking up this medication and all i could find was maracyn 2 made by mardel for freshwater fish. this is the same company that made my copper that i dident use, and pic is at the top of the thread and was wondering if thats a good company to buy it from because beth said it wasent, so which is the best company that makes maracyn 2

so does anyone have any answers to my questions?

Go to the Common Treatments FAQ. Under pop-eye is a description of Maracyn2 for saltwater, it's active ingredient, what it treats and how to use it.

update - everyone is in the dt , ich less and the yellow tang is pure yellow no more bacterial infection or anything, so throughout this whole hypo thing i only lost 1 clown fish.
about a month later one of my clownfish decided to go bungie jumping without a bungie cord, so i guess that puts me at an even number again with the clownfish
