HI everyone,
here is my story.
I had my 46G setup for about 6 months now. of course, the first few month, don't know anything and lose some fish.
Then, I started to read and put my fish in Hypo QT tank for 4 weeks and left my main tank no fish for 6 weeks. during that time, I started to add corals, and before I knew, my 6 weeks were over and I put all my fish back to the main tank.
Then, ICH is back again, and the only possible reason is, from the coral (which I am a little sare knowing that this pet shop put some fish in the coral tank too)
Now, with all my fish and a lot of rock and coral in the main tank and ICH. I tried the alternate method
Garlic + cleaner goby + cleaner shrimps + Greenex
The first few days looks good (after every other day of treatment of Greenex), the ICH seems to be under control. then, one night, all the fish got it bad. and worst than before.
then two more days of Greenex with no use.
Now, I am back to Hypo, and the fish are getting a lot better.
at least, I didn't lost any fish, just lost 1 cleaner shrimp (from the Greenex). and some corals look weak.
(one more lesson is , my small 1 inch hippo tang, they grew fast, it is about 2 or 3 months since I got him, it is about 2 inches now, that's why I already working on the new 72G setup)
