In my experience unfortunately no anything that's going to work it's also going to kill any inverts and coral or severely weaken them copper is about the only thing that will kill it there might be some other stuff out there

I was about to post a similar topic! I’ve been suing polylab medic for 11 days today. Ich started to clear but seems to have returned today with vengeance, specific to my powder blue tang. Now trying esha oodinex. I have the same issue, no quarantine tank and have both inverts and corals.

@Bertsgirl35 344d

Well that’s a bummer cause that’s what I’m using now polyp lab medic I was hoping this would do the trick but I was told to use this

Unfortunately I've been down that road tried everything many many months and just comes back powders are more susceptible to it for sure. I lost all my fish! Only way is to break the cycle. Fish out in another tank treat with copper and let Tank Go Fish less for 75 to 81 days. I did not pull fish out they all died and then did the 81 days have new fish in for about a month now no sign

It’s such a pain and really trying to prevent the aggravation of fish less, but might be the only option. On the fence as to whether it’s ich or velvet.

Could be both started ich then velvet ich is salt grain size and velvet fine dust size and if buying fish only trusted lfs fish in separate tanks beening not one sump. NO PETCO or chain unless you are QT ing them

It is more salt grain like in all honesty. I’m UK based, we don’t have PETCO here, my lfs does run multiple tanks from one sump though ☹️ The only other (non QT) treatment available here is the NT Labs anti bacterial that is reef safe, failing this going to have to bite the bullet and QT.

Soak the fish food with some freshly crushed garlic it will help the immune system

@Dan383 344d
