I'm Looking for Kyolic Garlic in liquid form in calgary??? need asap

Hi everyone

So I have a little bit of an ich problem happening, so far only my blue tang has it, *knock on wood* he has a dusting of it, he is still active and what not been treating the tank with quick cure, raised the temp and now been trying to find Kyolic garlic in liquid form but all I can find is the ones in capsules anyone have any other suggestions or kind of garlic you have used that worked well for you that would be fantastic I have never soaked food in garlic before so if anyone can tell me how to do it that would be great as well. From what i read seems to work for others so thought it cant hurt to try I really don't want to loose any of my fish, I don't have a QT tank right now this one tank I have is going to be my QT tank as soon as my 125gal is cycled and I can put my fish into it. So I am going to just use it as if it where a QT tank now just with all my fish in it. I want to go to the store after work tonight so if anyone can help me before 5pm today that would save driving around aimlessly looking for the right stuff. Thanks so much in advance oh yeah I am in calgary

i use kent garlic extreme . red coral carries it.

I use a liquid garlic made by Strauss which I think is based in BC. It can be purchased at health food stores and some pharmacies. It is about $25 but a little goes a long way. All I do is add a few drops to the food and give I up to a half an hour to soak in. Dried food seems to work best and soaks it up much faster. It cleared up the ich pretty quick. Now If I could just get the ich out of the tank!

Kent Garlic exteme works well.
Remember to use dry food so that lots of garlic gets soaked in, that you feed very often and only feed garlic soaked food.
The idea is to get as much garlic into the fish as fast as possible.

And you may want to get some Selcon Vitamin C as well.

Any kind of garlic extract will work. You can get Seachem's Garlic Guard, or use Garlic Extreme.

Start lowering your salinity a bit too.

Freshwater dips do wonders is the Ich hasn't taken control, one or 2 dips and most of it will be gone.

As said above garlic & selcon in their diet will help, you can also use ImmunoVital in the water also. Not many places carry that product though.

Ich Attack works well with a herbal treatment, use 2x the recommended dose.

Another product we have used sucessfully is Fish-Vet No-Ich, not sure where you can find that locally. It will dissipate in you water withing 5 days, not requiring a water change like most medications.

Also a cleaner wrasse wouldn't hurt either.

PM me if you have any questions.

I haven't seen a single garlic product that has had convincing results. Most of them do not even contain the active ingredient, allicin, as it rapidly oxidizes...

If you want to treat ich, have someone with a quarantine tank hit them with copper - ASAP.

FYI, cleaner shrimp and wrasses do not eat ich.

What albert_dao said above. Save your money, well at least don't spend it on garlic or non-copper based additives to treat ick.

HEavy feedings with Garlic and Selcon clean up my Ick issues before. So it must do something!
