ich

Well Rob, the only references I've heard re: power outages is that they sometimes induce ich from the stress of the drastic change in temp. Never heard of power outages curing ich. Now, if you want to cure ich, you might want to try garlic ......hehehe

The only garlic I use on fish is when I eat them.Actually it works great at getting rid of woman

I would strongly advise against this. Not only is this a hard experiment to run, but its also dangerous to the livestock. Running an experiment of this size requires quite a lot of controlled variables.

I also have to agree with Howdy, if a power outtage got rid of your ick, then no fish fish coming in to him, or other suppliers shouldn't have it either. I also agree with fkshiu, that during your outtage the life stage on the parasite changed.

I am not a rookie in this hobby and would not kill or torture a fish.One thing I know if fish and the diseases that come with them.I have been in the saltwater fish since 1994.I f I do a exsperiment I am not going to kill a fish or make one suffer.The ick on all the fish disappeared after this power outage.Mabe it was this maybe not and all i hear is people talking about there magic garlic . . Iam not going to torture a fish with garlic hoping this snake oil cures it.The only known cure for ick is copper.If you grill you local pet store they will admit this even if they sell you these other snake oils.

I think Howdy's comment says alot about no power and ich.
