ich

[iambailey]

ok so I used stop parastite stop ich.. i know i know a lot of people are gonna say its not good whichi I think I agree it didnt work.. well it made them look better now its a week later and the 2 percs and cream angel have it worse then the have. Althought the ich spots look a lot smaller, but there are more of them.. anyway, instead of moving them into a qt which I dont have setup yet and moving all my rock around to get them, can I add a copper ich killer to my display tank? I dont have any corals just LR and LS and I know everyone says the medicine will hurt these as well? Well can anyone tell me because I would much rather not move everything and setup a new tank. Thanks

Absolutely NOT. That will destroy your tank, and any LR you have. There is no short cuts.

Hey Man...going through the same thing myself. From Beth's advice...get a plastic tub, heater, and powerhead for the rock...and transfer it all out. Gradually put the main tank in hypo over the course of a couple days and sit tight for a while...weeks in fact. I haven't lost a fish since I did this...
