[zacg]

Anybody on here ever used this product my lfs swears it will not harm corals,inverts, or fish and will get rid of ich. they say they use it on there tanks can anybody give me some info or confirm this?

 

[tonynader]

yes ive just used it. It is ALL natural and will not harm a thing.

Haven't heard of it but if you are trying to get ride of ick, try Rally. It is reef safe, just makes sure if you have an anemone you don't over dose it. Other then that it works good, well for me.

 

[zacg]

did it help with ich or what did you have wrong in your tank?

 

[fishkid13]

Me or Tonynader?
It was ick and some other one.

 

[tonynader]

one of my clowns had a cut on its lip so i used it and it cleared it right up in about 7 days all was good. Im sure it will help prevent ich and treat it cuz im reading the bottle right now.
Try to take the carbon out of your filter it says and treat everyday for 7 days

 

[zacg]

yeah they swear by it the melafix so i may try it b/c i can't get my hands on the kick ick at any of my local stores and i need to do something pretty quick

 

[tonynader]

ya start using that. It should help. But keep close eye on the fish to see if its treating well.

 

[zacg]

i'm goin to get the melafix tonight and i'm goin to start using it and if they have one i'm goin to get a neon goby to help eat the ich.

 

[tonynader]

do you have a six line wrasse? Ive heard many stories of them eating parasites of other infected fish. pretty interesting

 

[zacg]

yeah i had one but he kept trying to kill my clownfish so he had to go.

Melafix is a bacterial infection medication, I have never heard of this med. curing white spot.

 

[zacg]

well, I just put the melafix in my tank and i soaked the mysis shrimp in garlic so wish me luck.

should i turn my protein skimmer off? it said to take the carbon out of my filter so i done that but it didnt say to turn off my protein skimmer so i wonder if i should.
