ive used it in a quarantine tank with mixed results. i actually have had best results using garlic. i soak the food in it and the fish seems to work through it.

Reefrubble, I had a blue hippo get ick when I first got him from stress of a yellow tang chasing him relentlessly. I used garlic liquid in the food and also did hyposalinity. Those two things together worked very well for me. Also, as contraversial as it is, I added a UV sterilizer and never got ich again. KR
