Ick

[bellanavis]

Ok, I know what I have to do, its just that at the time that is not an option. Maybe I am looking at it as there is only one way to do this. Please don't flame me, I feel awefull already, and I just don't know what else to do. I am almost sure I have ick, and I have used stop parasite, and it seemed ok, then its back, worse then ever, and right now, I don't have the option for a tank large enough for my very large fish to do hypo, and in the DT tank, I have LR, LS, inverts, so I can't treat in there. Is there anything else I can do?

How large is the fish?

 

[bellanavis]

I have a huge lion, huge hippo, among other huge fish,.

Then get a HUGE rubbermaid container for them.... or something like a 55gal QT.
They're not going to be comfortable while being treated, nor will they have tons of swimming room, but a healthy cooped up fish is better than a dead fish that had room to swim.

How is your tank set up? Live rock, corals?

 

[bellanavis]

I have LR, a 5 inch deep sand bed, a few corals, 2 seahares, and an urchin, and lots of tiny snails.

I<3tangs, I have way too many big fish for a 55 gallon QT, or any of the rubbermaid containers that I have seen. These fish are almost too big for the 125, thats why we are setting up the 380. I would do that, but it would not work.
