Maracyn2 is an antibiotic and will desvastate a reef tank. It will destroy all algae, kill off any macroalgae and will not be tolerated by corals or any other inverts.
You must not use this medication in the main tank. While M2 instructions say it is ok, it also contradicts itself by saying that you shouldn't use it .

I QT for about two weeks...
I am ANAL about the tank, and what goes in it and how quickly..
Grr, Im so pissed...We did a change around of the LR about 2 weeks ago, and we took some of the LR out..We also did a partial LS vacuum because of the bristles...Way too many...AND I CLEAN ALL MY ROCKS TOO...
So what your saying the best I can hope for is the fish to fight it off themsevles??
I will continue the use of the Garlic...I read the post in the Archieves about this..so I will do what I can.
Thanks all for your input..
I'm bummed..

Ed,
I am serious about this, I dont think that fish are just disposable..Explain the way to do this please..Does the container have to be new?? and what exactly do I do..
What about the main tank..what do I do with that??
I dont want to put them right back into a tank that still has this crap..
Plus Pls remember I have 6 cats and two large dogs..Do I need top be concerned with lighting for this??
Can I take one of my fiters off my main tank, and use it on the container??
I can buy a new heater..And do I use the tank water??
Pls advise, I've never had to do this before..
Thank you so much for your time..It wont go to waste..I promise..

Good luck getting your fish out. I had 2 clowns in QT for a 2wks and, immediately upon placing them in the reef tank, one came down with brooklynella! That fish has since passed on and the other is beginning to show signs.
I did try to get them out of the tank, but so far its been impossible wo wrecking my tank. I will be adding a light to my QT.
My feeling is that if I had placed a light on my QT to begin with that I would have detected the problem before moving the fish into the reef. It is for this reason, that I do not recommend using tubs or rubbermaids for hospitals or QT's. How can you see how the fish are doing in a rubbermaid? Anyway, that is my personal opinion, but many hobbyists, do, in fact use these with success...of just plain good luck...

I can un derstand your frustration at the moment.
Is this Marine Ich related to the death of your clown fish a week or so back? I think so
That mean your Marine Ich have finish multiplying stage. They will kill any host in the Main Tank.
How can we treat it properly? is our next question.
Like anthem, Beth or Terry been saying all over the forum (man, I got to love these guys/gals)
Fish less main tank for over 4 weeks.
Use hypo salinity(prefered from the sharks) to deal with the fishes that in your main tank in a seperate tank/container additional with Garlic soaked food.

I had him in the QT tank for two weeks without any marks or spots on him..I guess that wasnt long enough.......Even when he died, we took him out and looked at him, and there was nothing...I've seen it before in Pet stores, so I do know what it looks like, plus I use to do freshwater yrs back..
Im SO pissed at myself..
So lets say I can get these guys out..and can do the hypo and garlic...when I put them back are they going to get it again???
The chaper II on it in archieves says it can remain on basically anything..

And Beth, thanks, cause I have read that pamplet over and over again, and there is no place that says it is not reef safe...even the "Info" when I ordered it said reef safe..
I would have used it...what a disaster to an already bad situation that would have been..
Thanks to all you guys....your input is GREATLY appreciated..
