Ok.. pardon the spelling of it if its wrong.

My pair of clownfish seem to have come down with ich after introducing it via a royal gramma who perished 48 hours after arrival (mail order, I freshwater dipped before introducing to tank, perhaps not long enough?) In any event, I'm wondering if metrozonidale is coral safe, meaning, will I ever be able to introduce corals to the tank (just a FOWLR right now). I know that after using copper to rid ich, the tank can't be used for corals ever, so I'm wondering if the same applies to metroz? I've had this pair of clownfish for almost eight months, and have watched the female become much larger than the other, I believe that up until a week ago they were starting to get interested in spawning, they would kind of shimmy and shake in front of each other :roll: I haven't noticed them doing that the past couple of days, I was kind of hoping to have a bunch of little ones to munch up all my pods. Anything else I can do to help them get better? Thanks in advance for any info/ideas/help.

Dreamer, I wouldn't use this medication in a tank intended for inverts. Plus, it's not among the proven methods. If you just can't remove the fish but you have NO inverts in the system, I suggest going via hyposalinity (<1.010). The only other proven method for curing ich is copper, so you might want to consider setting up a container as a hospital/quarantine system for this.
