[wnnareef]

Hey,
I have a 55 gal with ich, LR and Inverts, i do have another tank (but with live sand substrate) so instead of movin the fish in the other tankand treating there. I moved th LR and inverts and started to treat the big tank with *Rid ich i dunno if this product works(any input would be helpful) ive been told to go with copper but i dont want to go FO what can i do? if this doesnt work should move the fish and just sacrifice the the live sand in the small tank? im stuck here, I am new to saltwater and any input would be greatly appreciated.
thanx

Sorry, I don't put faith in such products. Have the battle is won by your moving the LR. Take a look at the post on hyposalinity in the FAQ Thread, as well as the post on ich. Don't add meds to your display tank.

I have not found Rid Ich to work very much at all. Unfortunately, Rid Ich will also stain your aquarium silicone because it contains malachite green.
The only ich product that I have had success with is Stop Parasite. The best way to treat ich is hyposalinity though.

Would it be ok to hyposalinate my display FO tank? or should i move the fish? can i treat it with hyposalinity with LR and inverts? i need some input PLEASE

You cannot hypo with live rock and inverts. You could either hypo your main tank and move your live rock and inverts, or move your fish to a QT.
