I just wanted to share my (knock on wood) use of ozone in treating ick. I have not treated my present tank in over a year and two months for ick with any type of medication or chemical. I have used my ozone unit in that time to treat small outbreaks last Nov. and Dec. I have not lost a fish to ick in that time and my purple tang and emperor have had mild cases after adding them to the tank. I have not needed to use the ozone for a long time. I bought a powder blue tang and sohal tang last tuesday. The third day the powder had about 3 ich spots which I kind of expected from the chasing and introduction stress the forth day about ten so I increased my time the ozone was on and today there is one spot left but the real amazing thing is no other fish has a trace of ick. The ozone seems to eliminate the ick before ick can reproduce to infestation levels and harm even healthy fish. I will keep you posted on the progress of the powder blue.
