URGENT -ick!

Hello FlameAngel,

Thanks for the article.

From my understanding, the garlic treatment prevents Ick from attaching to the fish and their gills. So, all the fish on the garlic treatment should be okay -- after 2 weeks of garlic food. Since the ick can't attach to the garlic laced fish, the ick has no home and it will eventually die.

As long as all the fishes in your reef are on garlic, and the ones that are not are in a seperate copper QT, then it should be fine. Once the fishes in the QT are well, feed them garlic food too. The garlic food can be used as a preventative maintenance.
