Had to share.
I brought ich in my tank with a new hippo tang. Yes I know, shocking as my tang is the first to ever get ich but it happened...lol
I controlled the ich with low stress and lots of feeding. He's a big healthy tang so he never got to the huge infestation stage but still, he always had 4 or 5 spots and eventually my other fish started getting a spot or two. I knew this would continue forever if I didn't do something but its a big old reef PACKED full of coral so getting my fish out or treating in tank seemed impossible.
So I tried Polyp Labs Medic. Its a 20 day treatment you add to your sump that is supposed to be reef safe and a treatment for ich. I had my doubts but whatever, I threw caution to the wind and tried it out.
I did the max dosage for 20 days and I'm happy to report that I haven't seen a spec since. It broke the cycle like it said it would and I have no visible ich for the first time since the Hippo joined my group.
Very impressed and would recommend for tanks that aren't in full ich attach and just needing to break the cycle to clear up a minor outbreak.
