:help: ok so i have a flame angel and i think it has ich. little white specs on the fins and body?

well yea its not alot yet but i need to get rid of it.

I raised the temp but i cant lower the salinity beacuse of inverts... i also cannot setup a Qt... No meds and no lower salinity so are my only options to keep the temp high and to give freshwater dips?
 
I recommend, buying a 10 gal. and turning it into a hosp. tank. Run a hypo treatment (1.009) for a month. Or go out and buy No-Ich and treat the main tank. It works but you have to turn off your protein skimmer and remove your carbon. Kind of an expensive treatment...but it does work.
 
Setup a QT. Just a new 10-20 gallon rubbermaid bin will work and can be had for $5 at your local Lowes or HomeDepot. IMO, treating the main tank with just about any kind of medicine (whether they claim it is reef safe or not) is extremely risky.
