Kent Garlic exteme works well.
Remember to use dry food so that lots of garlic gets soaked in, that you feed very often and only feed garlic soaked food.
The idea is to get as much garlic into the fish as fast as possible.

And you may want to get some Selcon Vitamin C as well.

Any kind of garlic extract will work. You can get Seachem's Garlic Guard, or use Garlic Extreme.

Start lowering your salinity a bit too.

Freshwater dips do wonders is the Ich hasn't taken control, one or 2 dips and most of it will be gone.

As said above garlic & selcon in their diet will help, you can also use ImmunoVital in the water also. Not many places carry that product though.

Ich Attack works well with a herbal treatment, use 2x the recommended dose.

Another product we have used sucessfully is Fish-Vet No-Ich, not sure where you can find that locally. It will dissipate in you water withing 5 days, not requiring a water change like most medications.

Also a cleaner wrasse wouldn't hurt either.

PM me if you have any questions.

I haven't seen a single garlic product that has had convincing results. Most of them do not even contain the active ingredient, allicin, as it rapidly oxidizes...

If you want to treat ich, have someone with a quarantine tank hit them with copper - ASAP.

FYI, cleaner shrimp and wrasses do not eat ich.

What albert_dao said above. Save your money, well at least don't spend it on garlic or non-copper based additives to treat ick.

HEavy feedings with Garlic and Selcon clean up my Ick issues before. So it must do something!

If you say so, but I did ALOT of research on this when I imported saltwater fish...what you likely observed was the stage where the otherwise invisible internal parasite left the host fish (the white spots). Subsequent infection was not as serious, or the fish was strong enough not to get re-infected.

Provided the fish keeps eating (and assuming you can not easrily remove them to a suitable quarantine tank) ich is a reef is really not worth treating. Maintaining a very stable temperature (very little temp. fluctuation) is useful during this time (and always) as it is less stressful on the fish.
