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.

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.

It actually works great for ick in freshwater. Did one treatment on my discus tank last year & cleared it all right up completely, without any negative side-effects on fish or plants (and discus are very sensitive fw fish too). I also used it recently on Irene's fancy goldfish cube tank & again, great on ick. The black moor was on death's door & now its happy as can be. No signs of ick at all after a few days.
At the same time, I don't trust any "reef-safe" or non-reef-safe chemicals for treating disease in my reef tanks. Never really heard of any that have been true to the marketing claims. I may do it in a separate QT tank, with a disposable piece of base live rock but not in my display tanks. Especially not with corals or inverts. Thanks for sharing your experience, so we can learn from it. Anthony

ich treatment
Hi guys.
I have only been keeping a reef for the last 3 years, so I am no expert by any meens. In those years I have had ich twice ( both times from bringing home just one more tang). In both cases I use a product called "No Sick Fish" and followed the instructions. Seven days later, no ich. There were no adverse affects to my, sps, lps, clams or leathers. The shrimp, crabs and snails seemed not to notice either. In short it worked for me. If asked, I would recomend this product. A little pricey though, $65 for a tiny little bottle! Just my opinion.
