Well as some of you might have read in my other post i was facing a dilemma of ich in my reef and i did not have power (thanks to the storm last sunday).
Well with not enough power from my generator to set up a QT tank i went to Springfield and picked up some of MARINE AQUARIA NO ICH that is safe with inverts and reef safe. I was not liking the fact of using it to begin with cause there is no way to test for it in the tank and i was worried about overdosing.
Anyway i dosed it accoriding to the instructions exactly. I was seriously crossing my fingers that this would work and save me from having 2 crying little children cause there fish were dead. Anyway long story short after 3 days of using it there was absolutly NO improvement and our Hippo tang had went from about 8 spots to looking like she was in a snow storm.......even had it on her eyes!
Last night i decided that the medication wasnt workin and ran out and got a HOT filter and setup a 35 hex i had laying in the closet for a hospital tank. Used water from the reef and threw in 2 biowheels that was on my sons FOWLR tank. Hoping that i wouldnt have nothing more than a minor cycle. It is BB with some PVC tubes on bottom for hiding. Dosed the tank with copper last night and today "DORI" is looking much better. Last night the royal gramma was even laying on bottom panting heavily and i didnt think he had a chance. Well now hes out swimmin around normal lookin fine.
I think i can honestly say that i WASTED $30 on a product that didnt work at all......at least for me. The LFS that sold it to me swore by it and said many of thier customers said it worked. Well i would like to meet these people. Kind of funny that the "NO ICH" was thier most expensive med they had. :rolleyes:
Anyway im testing water like there is no tomorrow.....watching for a cycle and being careful not to overdose the copper! and crossing my fingers for my 6 little guys in the hospital!
Moral of the story...... If it sounds too goo to be true than it probably is! oh..........and QT all new comers!!!! :D
Has anyone ever used this stuff with sucess?
