    did you QT him first? IchBeGone is a pretty good product, I however went from ich to marine velvet and never noticed until they kept coming down with it, about the 5th time I QTed everyone again and am treating with copper.

    I can't find the web site it is unavaliable right now but I ordered mine online at www.ichbegone.com

    kick ich worked for me as weel, now days i use garlic with my feedings.
    note that with many ich products they are reef safe but if you have a fish like a mandarin be careful as it may harm him by reducing his natural slime coat or possibly stressing him out to much. good luck.
    garlic, cleaner shrimp <----2 good natural control methods
    It's all about the reef. :YEAH:

    Ich Attack is 100&#37; organic, so it is one of the safest main tank treatments, as greg said garlic and cleaners will do well, but some fish just will not let the cleaner do it's job. As a rule I do not but anything in my tank except new water unless I HAVE to. Adding things to the tank if you don't have to is never a good idea IMO.

    raise the temp also with the treatment will help to speed up its cycle..I used kick ich along with garlic for a while i haven't had ich (knocking on wood) in a while...if its easy to get him out i would throw him in a qt but it might be too late if you have others they might have gotten it already...
