Mile, when is the last time your fish had ich? Also, the pepper products "can" work, but not with a high rate of effectiveness. Meaning, while it may work for 5 people, it won't work for 20 others.

also do u have any tips for keeping the alge growth down....my tank is getting pretty dirty.
When you say looking worse, do you mean his is just not the same or is the ICK still visible everywhere?
If the ICK is still visible I would make sure you dropped the salinity to 1.009
If the ICK is not visible and the fish is just not the same, I would use Zoecon and feed with garlic etc..

Has to be 1.009 - that is the magic number.
The ich can't live with a salinity so low.

do what you have to do, but this stuff made my Atlantic Blue turn red and die, then beyond that all to fish that didnt have ICH now do. I have a full reef setup and as much work it was to get the fish, LR and coral/inverts seperated hypo is worth it. I tried GREENEX, Kick ICH, Kent RXP (full treatments,didnt have a QT)
