Ick Help!

[sankysyuck]

What is the best way to treat an outbreak of ick? What would be the best medication to treat it? And does ick effect inverts like starfish? :help:

I tried going to the FAQ on this site, but it wont let me in. Would malachite green be ok to treat the tank?

The FAQ Thread is right at the top of the this particular forum. Check out the post on ich and hyposalinity. Ich does not effect inverts.

What about inverts like octopi? Does it affect them?

If you got Ick go hypo as web site directs and dont wait, the stuff grows fast and can kill fish. Meds are a pain in the butt.
