Ich ???

[DJ_drew]

the most effective way to get rid of ich in a salt water tank is to setup a QT tank and then put all of your fish in that and leave your display fowl for 6 weeks( no fish) inverts and corals are safe, BUT do not add anything to your tank. as the water from the lfs could have ich in it even if u buy just corals or inverts.

the fastest way is to do a 90% water change as it takes the ich in the water colum with and leave it without fish for at least a week and then always, ALWAYS QT new fish when u put them in the DT.

ich only lives in fish and will not transfer to inverst and nems. alot of people will tell you that ich can live in LR, which is not true.

Ich lives in fishes gills for the most part, and fish that are more succeptable to ich are tangs as they are scaleless, i learned the hard way.
my tank only has tangs and clowns in it and i have 300 gallons to worry about
be very careful if u put tangs in your tank always QT them for at least 6 weeks just make sure the water quality is excellent!

anything else im sure someone else will bring up
