The Ich today I can’t see it really on my tang now. All I see are little drown dots where the Ich was. Is this healing or did it turn into Black Ich?

I have a divers den order of a Tomi tang and a blenny. Should I cancel the order? I assume so as my fish is showing ich.
This. Moving all to a qt tank and treating is the best way to completely eradicate the ich.Ich attack will NOT erradicate ich.
Only proven methods are TTM, Hypo, CP or copper. That is likely why you are still seeing symptoms.

Or any tang for that matter, from my experience and reading, they're one of the most prone to ich attackAlso to add to this. Keeping an Acanthurus tang in an ich management tank long term is not the best thing to attempt IMO.
Why is catching the fish not an option? It's definitely ALOT of work, but it's always an option.Thanks for the advice. Catching the fish is not an option. Ich management is only option. I did not try diatom filter yet. They are bulky and ugly in my tank lol

Look into Microbe Lift Herbtana... I treated my 120gal for 10days and now I don't have the pest getting out of control. I lost 3 of my tangs due to ich but then again Tangs are kinda prone to getting ich unfortunately.
No man none of my corals died or maybe stressed out but it doesnt affect your corals at all since it has no copper in it. The only thing I noticed after treatment was like scars on 2 of my fish from the ich hosting them other than it is completely coral safe man. Don't wait too long especially for your Tangs they're beautiful and they can't survive too long if they have ick (2-3 days the longest)Thank you for the info! I like the fact it says: "Herbtana causes the removal or dropping of parasites from their host. During treatment, parasites are unable to return to the host and starve. While Microbe-Lift Herbtana does not directly kill parasites, it is ultimately responsible for parasite death"
Ick attack does not say this... I might give it a try! Did you notice any issues with your corals?

Yeah does the tank as recommended and I was feeding the fish normally but I bought a small container of seachem Metroplex to mix in with their food diet to kill off anything inside their systemThanks. My tang has had ich for almost 2 weeks. I been using ick attach but I will switch to the one you recommend bc it says it can starve the Ich. That could potentially in my mind kill off the Ich
