After completing hyposalinty in a q-tank for ick I put the fish back in the tank. Low and behold my regal tang had spots the next day so I used garlic, and they went away. A couple of weeks ago I added a baby perc to the tank as a mate for my adult male. The male (now female) developed spots and rapid breathing for a while after, most likely due to the sexual transition. I fed with garlic again and all is well today.
I'm cheep, I don't buy garlic from the LFS. I take a few garlic cloves and minse them, add them to a sealable jar of RO/Di and let sit in the fridge until I need it. It might not be as concentrated but I find it works well.
