Ok everyone heres the deal.. I WAS one of those guys who just bought fish from the lfs and never bothered to quarintine..well I have learned my lesson. Not sure what fish i brought in was sick but now My fish will eat fine but within a few weeks they get skinny and eventually die. I believe its a internal parasite of some sort but not sure...my tank is a mixed reef with mostly sps. So I cant add certain chemicals to help the fish..what should I do at this point? I will not be buying anymore fish until a quarantine is setup but how can I help save the fish that are left? Any reef safe chemicals or treatments for internal parasites? An advice is greatly apprciated!

the oceans, (NSW) has trace amounts of copper. so dont let the minute amount in the Thera-A worry you.
i left the Thera-A in a cup with water ( i was turkey baster feeding) one time for about an hour, it smelled like pure garlic!!!!!
bmost wholesalers have noticed great improvements when switching to this food.
