sooo, my reef tank has ich and all species of fish are infected here are some considerations to solve the problem and if you guys have any other ideas or input then lmk
1)Quarantine all fish (quite a pain considering all the live rock and corals i have and the steps it takes to get them, i am a rather experience fish catcher but its still such a stress, i have used food enticing traps in the past to catch fish with success so still an option) and treat with either quick cure or copper safe
2)Add those "reef safe" treatments that are available on the market but yet never really have any success, but if you know of one that works immanently LMK!
3)Take a more natural route and lower salinity and increase the temperature despite my corals (which are all pretty "hardy softies" ((lol i think i justcame up with an oxymoron?)) for the first place) and buy cleaner shrimps and wrasse's and hope they will take care of the mess. (early stages)
4) Install a UV sterilizer (in progress but i need a 9 watt uv bulb) and feed fish with food soaked in garlic extreme, to hopefully keep them eating and have a defensive immune system
5) see step: 1)
6) combine steps: 2) - 4) and pray?
saltwater ich is brutal :/
