Try a Cleaner Wrasse... your system is big enough to sustain one long term and they'll eradicate any ich in your system. No treatment necessary, just drop him in and watch him go at it...
Allright fellow reefers - FLAME away!!!  |
Ill start
A Cleaner Wraisse may help relieve some of the parasites on the tang but will never remove the ick from the main system, you will always be fighting it. Also, Cleaner Wraises are said to have a very tough time in most systems and really should not be added. A Cleaner Srimp would be better IMHO.
Is this tang in the Main System or did you Quarantine? If you put him in the main system, you have a LONG road ahead.
The number ONE rule in Salt Water fish keeping should be NEVER ADD A NEW FISH TO THE MAIN DISPLAY WITHOUT QUARANTINE.
I have a friend that did this and refuses to let the tank fallow for 6 weeks. He is constantly battling the resurgance of Ick and is about ready to quit the hobby. (I am going to go over and pull all of his fish from the system and treat them for him next weekend)
If the Tang is in Quarantine, he is easy to cure. Cuppramine, lower the salinity and increase the temperature to 84 to speed up the parasite process. He will show major improvement within a week.
Give me more details of the situation and Ill help you remove the ick for good.
