Just for the record, currently the recommended fallow period is a minimum of 76 days.

My Purple Tang once had ick when first introduce to the tank. I didn't do anything to treat him. Just let him be. Feed normally. Took a week to rid. I never seen any ick since.

In my case, let them be and try not to stress them out.

This is my experience, it is not in accordance with accepted practise.

I had an ich outbreak in my display years ago. I never quarantine. I under-stock. I have low to no nitrates. I raised the temperature and did nothing else. The ich went away.

It is possible that the disease we know as "ich" is several different diseases. This could explain why the above approach works for some people and not for others.

Thanks!
 
I appreciate the input, thank you

I actually reverted to "ginger powder" which I have used in the past and it works great...

This time I have done it for a few days and all but the powder tang have dropped the white spots and stopped breathing heavy...

I know its part of the cycle but the spots were there for days...

Been feeding the medicated pellets and they all eat them except the picasso trigger...
