Treating ICH in a Reef with Proto Marin

[Tom R]

Well it has been a sad day.

To recap it was last Friday that my fish started to show the symptoms of ICH.
On Saturday Ich spots showed on half of my fish. As I did not have an extra tank I was unable to quarantine the fish. On Sunday I decided to use Proto Marin to treat my tanks and dosed the first dosage 2 ml per 100 Lt. On Monday I dosed the second dosage of Proto Marin of 1 ml per 100 Lt. On Monday I lost my first fish. Since then it has been a steady loss of fish. I have now lost 1/2 of my fish some of which I have had for over 6 years. The Proto Marin has caused some of the LAPS to close however the corals seem to show little effect of the treatments to date. I have some fish that are not showing any symptoms of the ICH and a couple that are still very active however they do show signs of ICH. At this point I would not say that the use of Proto Marin has shown any success. At least the corals are looking good.
