I just remembered I used poly lab medic 3 years ago to quell a ick outbreak during an August heat wave. Poly lab medic is peroxide salts I see they have now added metronidazole to it I don't recall that being in my bottle at that time. The first treatment which I believe is 10 days, decreased disease without any deaths. But ick was still on the fish .The second treatment I double dosed and the ICK subsided completely. The fish were disease free for the following 2 years, until i SOMEHOW INTRODUCED BROOKLYNELLA AND EVENTUALLY GOT WIPED OUT.I think the brook came in when I accidently spilled LFS water from a coral purchase. I went back to the LFS and realized that the damsels that where in the frag system where covered with parasites. LFS owners sometimes think that fish will cure in inertebrate systems. so if you buy inverts from systems with fish in them be sure to qt themafter dipping the corals.Or get burned like I did.
