Need some advice on what to do

[MikesReef]

I also posted this on another thread but I was afraid people might not see it

I noticed my purple tang in my DT now has ICH, I also noticed my labouti wrasse female ( new addition) also has some white spots on it. One of my Jocs is scratching on a rock but no visible signs of ich. I am not sure what to do. I might have to do what Sunny did. I have high end fish. I can't imagine loosing them to an ich outbreak. I can't take my coral out since I do not have proper lighting on my QT tanks. IMO I will have to go down the road of taking fish out.

The purple is not really symptomatic. It is eating. However, the ich is spreading on it. It is by no means covered in ich
The other options are I take the purple out and Qt it alone. I don't know I really don't see this helping.
This does nothing for ich that is in my tank

Needs some advice here. I am not looking forward to run fallow. But I see no other choice here .
If anyone is willing to loan me a tank. 75 or larger. I would greatly appreciate it.

My tank has ich. Almost everybody has ich in their tank. I just keep my fish fat and healthy. I soak pellets in garlic and selcon and keep their immune system strong so they can get through the ich cycle. Works for me.

Mike, where are you located? I might have a 75 you could borrow.

Well you’re about 40 miles away….it’s your call if you want to come down and pick up the tank. Let me know.

Im sorry about my post. I didnt mean to make light of your situation. Are you gonna put all your fish in another tank treat them for ich with copper or hyposalinity and leave your display tank fallow for 6 weeks?

Feed the fish more and see they all are eating. If you can catch the fish easily and put them in QT then go with hypo.
Remember that trying to catch the fish will stress them much more and can make things worse. If they are eating well I would wait to see how they do.
They may fight the ich off themselves.

+1 . Thats kinda what I was saying on my first post but you conveyed it better.

+1 for garlic based on my own experience.
When I stopped adding 2-3 drops of garlic into food mix for couple weeks, started to see ich.
Now add garlic always.

Does the garlic actually strengthen their immune system or does it just make food more enticing?
