How to treat Ick in a reef tank???

[Imbarrie]

Starve fish with ich for a few days. This is a bad idea.

It may be a good preventative measure but right now, not so much.

Don't add a powder blue - best way to beat ich

They are notorious for being susceptible. So are Achilles -

I'd settle for less fragile fish - especially in a 120 - I have a 150 and even had a 180 and never considered with a powder blue OR achilles.

Jesse, I forget, did you have a UV as well? may want to consider running that with 2 days of no lights.

Hey Jim;
Other than the white spots on the Powder Blue and Coral Beauty, the fish are doing great. Eating a lot. Very active, etc. Tank parameters are perfect. I don't have a UV. Do you recommend one? Which brand? I knew about the Powder Blues, but I couldn't help it. The fish is beautiful.
