Some Sort of Ich

Ok I quarantined mr Flame Hawk for two weeks with no sign of any disease then I moved him into the main tank and now he has some sort of ich. How can I treat him in the tank are there any efective medicines that are reef safe. I do not want to have to pull out 180lbs of live rock to treat this guy. Other fish seem fine for now but that can change as we all know.

Good article I will take a look at this when I go the LFS in a few minutes. Will be looking at UV, cleaner animals, chemical treatments or combination of some sort. Really don't want to have to tear the whole tank down to requarantine and treat but it may come to that.

Kent RxP it is I will update with results as it goes.

Ok so heres results after day 1. I dripped in the Kent RxP at 80% or reccomended dosage. I stopped my RO top off and when the tank was about 1 gallon down I used an AquaDose system to add the RxP with a gallon of RO. The only noticable difference in the tank was the mushrooms closed up a bit, but not to bad. By this moring the Flame Hawk appears to have about 40-50% less white spots on him. I will continue the treatment for the 13 day regimen and keep updated about anything I notice.

Also I fed twice yesterday in smaller amounts the first time just mysis shrimp and the fish were slow to eat. Could be from the RxP could just be they are usually only fed at night. The second feeding was also mysis shrimp at normal feeding time but soaked with two drops of garlic extreme and this caused a feeding frenzy. Definetly went for the food with more aggression than normal.

Ok latest update. After two treatments of the RxP there is no sign of ick on the flame hawk and no other fish have developed signs.

The flame hawk is still slow to eat but not sure if its just his way as he swims around much more now and looks good. Just doesnt eat as aggresively as my previous hawian hawk fish.

Anyways back to the treatment. I did notice the mushrooms closing again but only for about 45 minutes.

Nothing else to report at this time will keep updated.

Well all apears ich fre now. I ran carbon for two days just to make sure I got any residual from the RxP out of the water. All seems well though.
