I'm very interested in the Ick and Hex medicated food. Makes so much sense, I mean if a person gets an infection (especially an internal parasite), we take a pill, no? The active ingredient in the Ick food is an anti-malarial (chloroquine or such), and the active ingredient in the Hex food is metronidazole. Makes perfect sense to me. I'll be picking some up.

Plus, if you're careful with feeding and run carbon, no need to remove the fish from a reef.

Nailed it. Just makes sense. So far the stores in town that have it are (in no particular order)

Golds, Pisces, Oceans, Riverfront, Wais, concept.

I've used it on two transferred regal tangs (that usually seem to get a few spots when moved) in two tanks, and they both fought it off.

Remember, the only issue with the food I see is if your damn clownfish start feeding the anemone.

Default unrelated note

On an unrelated note, I have been using chemipure blue when using medicated foods.

Seems to do the trick and provides you with mega clear water!
