i have been treating for ick on 3 out of 10 fish for the past 15 days. i have still light spots on my blue tang as well as puffer. they are better then they were. they have ligthened up on some days and then they seem to come back. i have been treating with formalin 3 and plan to use it for a total of four weeks due to the life cycle of ick. i have inverts, live sand, and live rock so i have been careful to choose something that wont hopefully harm them. the only thing i have lost due to the medication was my cc starfish. all the fish seem to be doing very well, eating, etc. even the ones with ick have been fine. i started treating the day after it first appeared. my question is, should i begin to see better progress soon or is something wrong? i want to make sure i kick the ick. i have no shot at qt so i have been treating the whole tank. please help!
