Great new reef Ich cure..........

[the croc hunter]

I got a case of Ich in my reef that hit my 3 tangs... I used a combo of KICK ICH AND RALLY.... You must use the new rally directions ( 3 days treatment, 1 day off, 3 days treatment) Either one is not great individually but combined they rock!!!!
I just thought everyone could benefit from this discovery

Could you give more details...Like how long ago did you use this treatment? Was there any ill effects to inverts, LR or corals, etc? Any casualities?
What are the ingredients of these medications? And how did you come up with this combo idea?
It would be great to have a reef safe solution to ick, but understandably I am skepticle.

Im actually on day 4 of the program..
So far Ive treated like this:
1)Skimmer off, media in filter out..
Day 1) Kick Ich, Rally
Day 2) Rally
Day 3) Rally
Today, Day 4) Kick Ich, skimmer on
The next 3 days will be rally only with the skimmer off.. then Kick Ich when the bottle says to add again.
I have 15 various corals and 3 anemonies in my tank, and a seahorse in the refugium, as well as 24 snails.... all are doing great!! The visible parasites were gone in under 30 hours off of my purple and powder blue tangs.
The combo was recomended to me by my LFS... which is celebrating its 90th year in business next weekend! I had contemplated the combo before but he gaveme the reasurance I needed to try it.
Anyway, it is working great and has not harmed anything.. even my sponges and flowerpot coral.
I thought a lot of people could save a lot of little lives with this recipe
Thanks!

Ok, guys, tell us the ingredients!!!

 

[beth]

Well formalin is definately not reef safe. I thought this would be too good to be true.

Is there any major difference between "NO-ICK" and "KICK-ICK" ? I have both of these and they seem very similar.

Can someone point me to a link for the Rally product? or the Kick-Ich?
I recently purchased a huma huma trigger, and he's just started to break out with what appears to be Ich. He's scratching his body along the rocks in the tank, and everything I have read up on has be informative. I just cant find the stuff to purchase online. Please help.

I agree with Terry on this. In the past I have tried Kick-Ick and No-Ick and they did me no good (at 20 some bucks for a liter). To give a little insight on them. They are the same product and the 2 people who came up with it as a team split up and each offered the same product under different names. I also agree that in my yers of doing SW I have found SeaCure Copper and Hypo to be the very best for handling my disease problems (and I have tried all the stuff mentioned around here GreenX, Paragon2, no-ick, kill-ick, rid-ick and none worked very often for me anyway. Rally I have never seen so no judgement on it from me.

This post is quite old but....for those wishing to use Rally....there was a contorlled study where the claims of products being reef safe were examined on an invert. This product Rally actually killed the invert.
The study/experimnet was conducted by Steven Pro who sometimes visits this site. If he finds this post I am sure he will correct me if I am wrong.
Also, there is nothing in Kick Ich proven to be effective against marine ich. it is very effective in kicking money out of your wallet.
