Kick-ich is overly expensive slime coat.
It really is sad that these products can make these claims yet have nothing but "hot air" to support their position. On top of that, they charge a high price for this crap that will do nothing but perhaps screw up your system and soak up valuable treatment time.
how can this product and others that make such claims nuke one invert ich and leave all others alone? THere is NO (NONE=ZERO) additive on the market today that can make this claim and point to science to support it. It defies logic as the ONLY ingredient knwon to kll ich is copper...which will also kill the other inverts.
What is so frustrating is that hobbyist continue to buy this crap...and hand over their hard earned money.
For those that wish to beleive this product is effective, please post the dcoumeted science behind the claim and name the ingredient contained in the voodoo mixture that will kill parasites and leave all ohter inverts alone. Better yet, contact the manufacturer and ask them to supply the information to support their claim.
Manufactureres should prove it or remove it from the market.
Please save your money and do not waste valuable treatment time. Perhaps if folks stop buying it they may actual conduct R & D searching for the miracle addiitive.
