Aquarium Advice Addict
I had the exact same problem with my Blue Tang a little over a week ago and I also used the Ich Attack daily. The very next day after Ich Attack the white spots started to look more like blotches. The 3rd day the blotches looked more brown color and were fading away. 4th day the blotches started to disappear. The 5th day they were pretty much gone. The 6th day it was completely gone. 7th day the fish looked great and this was the last day I added the Ich Attack treatment.
Now for THE CATCH. On the 9th day I did my 25% pwc and put all new filter media, everything seemed good. The 10th day the white spots came back, and with a vengance, about 5-times worse than initially.
So the person on the first Ich treatment thread that said it looks better with Ich Attack and then they come back was absolutely right. However, I'm going to give the Ich Attack the benefit of the doubt and start the process all over again. But this time around I will continue to medicate a week or more after the tang looks fine in case there are still some free swimming ich parasites.
Now THE QUESTION. I just put all brand new Chemi Pure Elite in yesterday so about $24 worth of it. Do you think I can save it by putting it back in the container? Or should I throw it away?
As I'm writing this I feel like there are little bugs on my hands just from the thought of sticking my hands in that water. I know its just in my head though. I have a feeling I will be doing hyposalinity after the first of the year. :x
