In-tank ick remedies?

[naesco]

Here is what you need to do.
1. Get two cleaner shrimp. Be very careful to acclimate them slowly and add them to your tank with the lights off.
2. Go to the LFS and buy one botter of garlic extreme and one bottle of Selcon and a good quality flake food. Put the flakes in a small container (juice bottle cap) and, shake and add 2 or three drops of selcon than add enough garlic exteme to the flakes (or any dried food) until they are saturated than feed the fish. Feed two or three times a day and feed only the saturated food. You need to continue this for a month or so.
You can also use squished garlic, or unflavoured garlic extract from a health food store but don't buy anything else as the others are diluted with water and less effective.
Because you are feeding more often you have to change the water often.

I went through a huge ick problem after I started adding fish to my new tank. I tried a couple of different so-called reef safe remedies and did nothing. The best thing I did was (as above) purchased 2 cleaner shrimp(which are 2 of the most comical creatures in my tank) and a cleaner wrasse. Try to find a cleaner wrass that is eating reg. food. Maybe I got lucky but mine is going strong and no sign of ick since. Good luck, Damn this hobby is addicting!!
