Tangs have ich

[stormy78]

::Hello-

I have been in the hobby for over 5 years and never had a problem with ich. I have two tangs...a yellow eyed and a naso. They both have minor ich spots. All the other fish I have are fine. They are in a 125 gal reef but I do not have a quarrentine. Is there anything I can do or are my fish gonners!!!

You can try Hypo, UV, garlic on Nori. What other fish do you have? Any new additions? Search the forums for Hypo. Do you have a local LFS that could place them in a Copper tank? Ideally you will want to remove all fish and do Hypo to remove the parasite otherwise you will always only be managing the Ich.

^^^ agreed. When i started over, i set up a 20 gallon long tank with a HOB filter i set up on and off for when i get a new fish. Best way to go...i've lost a lot of fish years back when i first started not knowing what ich was and NOTHING beats a good week or so in QT with hypo and copper treatments
