I have been told in the past not to do hypo and copper at the same time. Not sure if you meant your plan was both at once and maybe its fine but I would look into it.

Good luck. Sorry to hear its come back :(

Man I HATE ich so much!!!!

No, not simultaeously. I've got the salinity at 1.022 in the QT. Will start hypo after copper treatment.
Yes Ich sucks! I'm so glad my SF Tang recovered. He was absolutely covered; looked like someone rolled him in salt. I thought he was a goner.

The new tank has been empty of fish now for 17 days, and it looks so barren and empty I decided to post some pics that were taken just before the Ich breakout got real bad.

Just a few days after this was taken my Sailfin was so covered in Ich it looked like he was rolled in salt. I really thought he was a goner, but he's been Ich-free for over a week now.

Wussy Tuskfish too scared to come out for his photo.

And one of the Chocolate Tang who didn't make it. (RIP) Although I only had him a short while, I miss him. He was a beautiful fish with quite the personality. :cry:

No sign of Ich in the last 6 days...(crosses fingers). I discontinued the Cupramine and after a large water change am lowering the salinity. All fish seem to be healthy and fit. The Tuskfish is voracious. He literally attacks his food now. He can devour a cracked open clam in minutes; grabs it and shakes the crap out of it. He and the Foxface seem to have made peace (at least in the QT).

Thats great news... Hopefully everyone stays healthy and ich free

Well? are they headed back to the display yet? or you going to give them an extra couple weeks to make sure.

2 more weeks, just to be safe. Not going through that again.

WHOOO--------HOOOOOO!!!
Next weekend all the fish go back into the display. Fish have been in quarantine now for 46 days, and all are healthy and fit. (no losses while in QT) Haven't seen a trace of Ich since the end of March. Although I love my corals and other inverts, a tank without fish in it just seems kind of empty. In hindsight, I think I may have saved my Chocolate Tang if I had removed them and treated them a little quicker. :sad:

Give me a call,I'll give ya a hand :drinking:

Congrats man! Some serious patience you're showing there (or you're keeping yourself too drunk to care!)
