ich management

So a couple of days ago I saw 2 of my fish had ich. I tried fishing them out but was unsuccessful. Now my goby is completely spotless ,my royal gramma is out in the open like normal, and all my other fish look completely normal. I did buy a UV sterilizer but it got delayed until today. Is it...

Hey All, Just starting up a new reef tank, been a bit busy the last few months and just got around to etablishing a new tank in my new house. Excited to get back into it even though my wallet isn't. In the past, I've ran into issues with Ich, and even post QT, I've had it end up in my display...

Is there any reef safe Ich medicine or remedy? I already have copper for a qt tank but I don’t know if I’ll be able to get my sick gramma or clown goby out my tank. Of course I’ll keep trying and even move my rock scape if I have too. Both of them are well fed and healthy before getting sick so...

Good afternoon y’all, I’ve got a bit of an issue I was hoping I could receive some guidance on. A little backstory- I just started my first saltwater tank a few months back, it’s a 32 biocube. Prior to that years ago I had a 90 gallon fancy goldfish freshwater tank I loved with everything I had...

Hi, [BACKGROUND] I have been keeping FW fish for over a decade but this past December, I stepped into SW Fishkeeping. I had a 55G freshwater converted to SW tank and I recently sized up to a 120G RedSea peninsula reef tank (LPS+SPS). Last week, I added Ebili Angelfish, Flame Angelfish...

Last night I noticed the spots on my skunk clowns, so I spent 3 hours getting them out of the tank and put them in QT and started copper treatment. Now tonight my white tail bristletooth tang has it and it’s much worse than my clowns. The problem is that my QT tank is 10 gallons and I cannot fit...

I am new to this community and am experiencing Ich. Based on my observations, I suspect that my two clownfish developed ich due to stress. I think the issue began when I introduced a damselfish and a Talbot into my tank. The damselfish exhibited aggressive behavior toward the Talbot, which...

Hey everyone! I’m starting hyposalinity treatment for ich tomorrow and have been gradually adding RO water to the tank over the past 24 hours. I’ll reach a salinity level of 1.009 within the next 24 hours. I’m treating my display tank because it’s a mangrove setup with no other animals aside...

So on my journey of reefing I have come into ich in my display tank its a 100 display 40 gallon sump. I'm currently dosing h2o2 and running uv to manage it I don't have any other tanks to quarantine fish in. I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do to prevent the loss of fish

Happy Holidays fellow reefers!! Woke up and noticed my blenny has what look like tiny eggs/balls along his lowers fin. He doesn't seem stressed and neither do the other fish. I was thinking ich but not sure. Never had an issue before. Any help would be appreciated

Hi im looking for some help with my cleaner shrimp. Added to the tank about 2 months ago. All was good until last week when I noticed it acting a little lethargic. Then I noticed some white spots and a small black spot on its side. It wasnt moving for about a day and then something startled it...

Hey All! Looking to get help and ensure the diagnosis is appropriate. I had my clowns get what was originally determined to be ich…and they were covered. Transferred and stood up 10 gallon QT and they’ve been doing well. Their appetites are still very much there and almost all of it is gone...

Hey everyone, Just went 90 days fallow after having velvet. After the 90 days was up I put my Achilles tang in an acclimation box for a few days was all good - has been in tank for 3 weeks no issues. Added a blue hippo, purple and yellow 2 days ago all after 40 days of copper power 2.40+...

Hello everyone, I am currently facing a dilemma on what to do with my tank as treatment action. About a month or more ich or ich alike disease appeared on my tank and took out some of the fish. I bought a quarantine tank and placed the fish that seem to be sick on copper for a month aprox...

Hi there, I’m new to saltwater, I’ve had fresh water tanks for a while never have had issues, think my clown fish have ick… looks like they got it over night cause yesterday they looked fine. Still eating and active, can someone please help me.

Because this topic continues to come up, I wanted to create a sticky thread so that it is more easily referenced. Please understand that I am NOT presenting this as an optimum method for controlling marine ich, just putting it out there for people who want to try it. Also, do not pick and...

These two white dots appeared on his tail. I'm leaving for a trip Monday and I'm really worried if it could be ich. I don't want my tank to get wiped out. Currently don't have my qt set up because I wasn't expecting anything. I'm running UV. Dosed Prazi in the tank following normal procedures...

it’s been two months since my fish got ich. i’ve lost most of my favorite fish, and i’m overwhelmed with treating them. i cycled my old tank and managed to catch my 7 remaining fish. my plan is to leave tank to fallow for 45 days, while treating with hypo or possibly copper. it’s so...

Wanting to catch this early before it’s to late, is this a sign of marine velvet? My clown rang is eating a lot and doesn’t seem to be bothered just once or twice swiping against the sand on same side of discoloration. I have UV sterilizer running in display tank and was thinking about adding...

My tank has ich, I'm currently practicing ich management as going fallow for 76 days failed (possibly because I'd added corals during that time). My question is, I've bred berghia to clear up my aiptasia... can I safely give some berghia babies away if I did some type of SW rinse on them first...

I woke up to my clownfish looking terrible this morning, with what appears to be Ich. It is much worse on my male than on my bigger female although neither looks happy. It is also prevalent on my banggai cardinal and firefish. As I haven’t had experience with marine Ich before, I’m not sure if...

realized this morning my puffer is starting to get white spots on his fins. Put him in a QT tank and currently dosed kick ich and rally pro. Has anyone has good luck with this? Should I not waste my time and go straight to copper? I’ve heard mixed reviews and I really don’t want to lose my fish...

Suddenly couple fish died couple days ago (longnose butterfly, powder blue tang, puffer) and today some fish don't look good. I haven't add new fish for a while and all new fish always quarantine at least two weeks. Is this ich or something else? Tested for ammonia (0), ph kinda low but manage...

so to start off I'm a new reefer running the Red Sea max nano peninsula. it seems that my tank has a case of ich which appeared on my Midas blenny so I put it and my watchmen in qt with copper power to treat and planned on doing the 80 degree 6 week fallow period and got a UV in my display. I...

Hi all, I’m so depressed that this is my first post. I’ve been reading these forums since starting my tank up in June of last year and it’s been super helpful. Hoping to get some advice as there’s a lot of approaches I’ve seen for ich management and treatment. I had a red Firefish goby that...
