What are your water parameters? Also are you using a calibrated refractometer to check salinity?

 

[JAR]

Tank params.

KH 9.5 Salifert
T 80 deg (probe and themometers)
CA 430 Salifert

There is no easy fix for ich, nor is there any reef safe ich cures. If they claim either the snake oil alarm should go off in your head. Sorry you had to learn the hard way. Stop using the stuff, remove said fish and treat them proper (in a QT using real medication).

Getting the fish out is going to be fun..... Next to impossible.
It could take 8-10 hours easy. Dismantle all aquascape. Damn!
:'(
What "real" medication would you suggest?
Copper?

Also is ammonia and nitrite zero? Did your salifert kH test kit come with a standard? Only reason why I ask this is before there were some bad batches of kH test kits from salifert.

Get a fish trap.

 

[drdoolittle]

Soak the food in garlic extract. It worked for me.

A fish trap would get most of the fish I think...
It could be the answer.
My prawn goby and my clown goby are very shy but I have never starved them.

I guess I should check ammonia and nitrite but the tank is cycled 10 months. Fish are not stressed.

Refractometer and 2 salinity gauges 1.025

And the kH test kit?

 

[JAR]

KH the same with API test and API 5 in 1 test strips

 

[JAR]

I'm thinking about adding some Carbon to remove the meds.
Should I worry if I have not been using carbon?

From the grocery store?

 

[iani]

I would do a water change (what kind of salt are you using) and run some carbon. Did the coral start dying when you started adding the meds?

 

[Knucklehead]

i would stop using the kick ick, do some water changes, catch them fish and qt them and treat them like people said above.

 

[Knucklehead]

the garlic extract i would get kent garlic extreme. pick up at your lfs

I agree--Do a good sized water change and run carbon.
