First of all who has used garlic for marine Ich with success?
And how do you prep it? I've tried mincing garlic and feeding it to fish, but they will not each it. When I crash a few cloves, there's very little juice coming out... not sure how to prep it...
What supplements do you use regularly in your reef tanks?
Anyone using Marc Weiss products? Are they really up to their marketing hype and high price?
Thanks,
Luke
I have 180 gallon tank... recently, my Blue Tang (Hippo/Regal) got Ich.
The other fish seem to be OK, but a yellow tang already has 2 dots...
I have no other tank to take the fish into... I have live rock, cleaner shrimp, few 'hardy corals, crabs and snails in the tank.
I've used the pepper...
This is how I plan to connect Coralife ozonizer to my 90 gallon reef tank.
The dosage will be 3mg/10gallons (max dosage for the ozonizer I have) .
It will be connected to the venturi port of my BakPak2 skimmer.
I was told that the usual dosage is around 5mg/10 gallons, but that is all I have...

A followup:
a) why would UV be more effective? I've read that ozone is a much more potent germicide.... no?
b) Alos, why wouldn't it elliminate Ich if there were fish in the tank? If I look at copper, it also kills the free swimming larvae, right? Yet it will kill the Crypto even if there are...
I'm thinking about adding zn ozonizer and running it at 3-5mg per 10gallons of water.
I wonder how effective is ozonizer at killing the free-swimming stage of marine Ich (Crypto) and marine velvet larvae?
Would UV light be more effective?
Thank you,
Luke
