Thanks beth and terry

I just was reading all the terrible things that everyone was experiencing and I've decided to soad my food in garlic and buy a uv sterilizer for my one fish with ick. I think that is the best way to go without catching the fish. Thanks guys for your help and i hope I dont have to ask many more questions in the future.

Jon-Paul....you can try that....but don't count on it working.
I just responded to you in the other thread. There is no easy way out of this one....but there can be an end to the road if you treat appropriately. Sterilizer and reef tanks are not compatible. Better to spend your money on a refractometer.
If you want to try the garlic, go ahead, but in the meantime, please start planning for a major outbreak of ich. When it happens you will be prepared with the QT and a plan of action. In the future you will have a clean tank and, with appropriate QT in the future, will not have to worry about ich again. Any other way, and this will always plague your hobby experience.
Good Luck!
