Default Treating ICH in a Reef with Proto Marin

Some of my fish are showing signs of ICH.
I have been cleaning my tanks and have stressed the fish.

Has anyone used and had success with Hikari ICH-X. The writeup on the J&L web site stated that it is considered reef safe.

I have read it is not working for many many people, working for some others. I suspect that with out without it the outcome would have been the same for all these people so not worth it.

You didn't introduce anything...so the ich must have always been present. Left alone and unstressed, I assume your fish will settle back to the way things were before.

On Thursday Nov 11 I took my Atlantic Blue out of my Frag Tank and put him in with my other Tangs in my display tank. The addition of the Atlantic Blue did not cause any trouble at the time. My Majestic Angels are showing the greatest amount of ICH.

If the fish are eating and swimming well don't worry, they will eventually kick it. My fish went through ick a year ago when I foolishly put my White Cheek in without quarantine. They went through a few cycles, about a week apart, then that was it.

I add some ground garlic to my food. Seemed to help.
