Ich in tangs

[Proteus]

I don't think you can ever really be rid of it unless you haven't added anything to tank including frags or inverts.

When I had my 180 going I had a powder blue that would get a spot or two every couple months. Then it would disappear. I think it may have been a little stress. Considering to that none of the other fish would show sign. If your fish ate healthy and eat well and low stress there immune system will do its job

I've added a couple new fish to my system lately. There is no chasing going on, but my solar fairy wrasse has had a spot or two since I've put him in, and the new joke tang has ich. I'm going to keep an eye on it, but I was wondering if there is a standard I should be strivig for of no ich

I never had ick in my display tank because I do a strict quarantine on everything I get and I desinfect my corals.

So when ever the fish are stressed, they are totally free of ick, no matter what.

If it is not in the tank it won't appear out of nowhere. That's the good thing about doing a proper quarantine.

How do you disinfect your corals? i thought the only way to get rid of ich was copper, hypo or time?
