Help I have an Ich problem

clamlvr · 01-12-2003, 09:34 AM

Has any one tried Chem Marine stop parasite on their reef tank, with clams in it and SPS, I did a search and could not find any information. I am trining to avoid breaking the tank down. I already have tried the garlic with no results does any one have another option that I could try?

Could you possibly remove fish and treat it separate?
I did use kickich in the very beginning,I had very little in terms of corals then and everything came out ok.I would not try it again though.I would do everything I could to try and catch the fish.BTW,I lost few fishes regardless but majority survived and cleared up in a few days.I never had any ich since.
Good luck man.

Sorry I can't help because I haven't had to deal with that problem yet. Please post whatever you find out so we can all learn something. If you can't catch the fish maybe you could put the clams in another tank while you treat the fish. Clams are much easier to catch!

Good Luck.

Try catching the fish with a barbless hook on a small line. Ti does work well in Australia
