Ok... So I'll do an experiment soon w this food.. I'll get a hippo tang from a lfs and for sure 99% it will have ich.. It will appear within two weeks then I will feed this dr. G's food.. I have a strong feeling it will not work at all..
But an experiment would b awesome.. I have the room and it's easy to do..
I also want to stick one of my 10 inch tangs in a ten gallon tank and see if it gets ich out of no where just to prove a point.. But I could never do that to one of them..
If that food works that would be amazing..

Been there and done that experiment when I heard about that food..
Set up four 20L tanks no substrate just PVC pipe kept temps at 82
Looked for and picked up ick infested tangs(2 powder blues 2 hippos)
One tang in each 20 , two of the 20s were fed food with selcon,garlic,vit c
And the other 2 with dr g , the two with dr g food showed a clearing of the ick within 2 weeks other two around the 4 week period, one tang was lost using the garlic mix
Kept the remaining 3 in qt for 12 weeks with weekly water changes..and all 3 showed no more signs after that
Not saying this is a cure for ick but showed promising results for me
So if some is considering just using a treated food only it's worth a shot..
But the only 100 percent method stil is copper, hypo , or tank transfer method..
