For the one millionth time there is no proven reef safe ick medication out there.

 

[drizcol]

for the 10 millionth time,
thats a BS answer, you cant tell me that none of those reef safe medications work for ick. Nobody has had any good experiacne with these meds? I dont belive it!
I found one that Im going to try!

What is the medication you found, I just bought 5 baby blue tangs, and I think a few of them seem to have ick. How About Melafix????? I need help, at least give me something to try, it may not be proven, but I need to try something. Thanks, Justin

Hey...I tried Melafix for an ailing Lion. It didn't kill him, but it didn't cure him either.

hey:
this is a never ending questions. I think between all of us here, if someone stumbled upon a reefsafe med which actually worked greater than 50% of the time, we would be harping its praises. Infact there isn't one.
As Terry mentioned the only two time tested, tried and true, guarenteed to work methods are copper-based meds (cupramine is the best), and hyposalinity. Neither of which are reefsafe.
Curently garlic enriched foods might be a close third, but it seems to work only in light infections and on when given early on
Good luck
