Thanks for asking. My second attempt to get rid of ich was once again UNSUCCESSFUL. Lost 3 of 21 fish during this Fiasco/process and of course two of my favorite fish .....a gorgeous XL gold flake and a XL Hawaiian emperor (due to stress/copper) ;(
That was my last attempt to eradicate ich and now will just manage it unfortunately.
I am completely baffled and I did everything above and beyond.....I mean textbook you name it. The only thing I wish I would’ve done differently was held off on pouring three jars of copepods from algaebarn into my display to seed the tank before the fish were put back in. Within three days of putting the fish back in I saw a few spots (nothing serious) on my blond naso who was farting around here and there. I flipped off my tank and cursed it when I saw those spots. I and all my aquarium friends can’t believe it and don’t have an answer. I called algaebarn and they said it’s impossible they don’t have any fish in their system but I’m not in their warehouse to verify that so ya I’m just SOL with ich once again.
