Angry 100% Organic ICH-ATTACK

Awhile back my orange shoulder tang had two spots [ Ich ] to make a long story shot I used the above product. On the bottle one should use one teaspoon per ten gallons, at that point I was advised to cut that by a third, I did even better as this is new. I used two teaspoons for 120gal main tank, next morning got up to seven corals shriveled up. After two days [ 20% water change ] lost two and three hopefully will make it, one cap has turned chocolate brown..edges a lite color...Bottle reads as follows:
Safe for use in all kinds of aquariums, fresh or saltwater "including Reef and Live Rock " I don't find this to be true...Have added a bag of Chemi-Clean to sump
Yes all fish and critters are fine.
"NOT A HAPPY CAMPER !"

100% organic? i wonder what's in it? i dont know of much organic stuff that would specifically target a specific organism of choice (like ich). honestly, im quite skeptical of most anything that is labelled "organic" nowadays as it is just used as a buzz word right now.

Question Ingredients as per Bottle

I believe it could have been the smell...it had a strong kick to it
Contents:
5% active ingredients [ multiple natural herbals containing Naphthoquinone
95% inert ingredients

That stuff is bad news.....the warning label shows a fish belly up and the skull and cross bones. Very toxic to the environment. Its used for pharmaceuticals.

Sorry Scott, you have the wrong stuff...product of Kordon-aquaherbals
sold at fish stores, no pic's of belly up fish..skull or crossbones period
It has the same product you talking about...so why is this stuff used to kill Ich...I sure hope everyone reads this site you have posted and thanks for the info...I'll pass this on and I would like to know why this chem. or whatever it is, used in this product

Blaster only used one time, forget the rest of the week, left temp up [ 82 ]
so far no Ich

I'm sorry for your losses I'm very skeptical of anything that claims to be reef safe. I used a product to beat cyano about 10 months ago, and it killed 3 of my fish and two of my corals.

Never again!

Oh am I ever glad I avoided that brand now. Someone tried to sell its algae counterpart to me. I am so sorry that this happened though.

I guess as consumers we are brainwashed into believing that these convenience products actual work. In my experinece with Ick meds, none of them actually work. Nothing beats a good Q-tank for hypo-salinty treatment. Sorry to hear about your luck.
