For better or worse... i made a mistake bringing home the stressed powder brown tang from sea life central on fragfest day. Should have been warned not seeing its full color which is often the case when thy r stressed.

Landed up learning the hard way as i have lost most of my prized posessions to this damn ick..

Dima... pls dont make the same mistake like me to stock new fish in ur new setup.. i am done few hundred dollars loss in just two weeks... more importantly my loyal flame angel who was with me for good past few years. Never nipped a single lps.. i am heartbroken...will nees time to recover.

For now, have ordered polyp lab medic.. hoping it can save the rest.. left with only the scorpas tang now and a blue lined wrasses frm the prized collection...

Just a heads up, ich could have come from anywhere in any water or on any plug that you purchased then or in the past. Also, it can be in tanks without people ever knowing until the add a suseptable or sick fish.

Sorry to hear about your loss, I know I'm always crushed when a member of my fish family dies.

I'm not sure if this link will work because I'm on mobile but this is the review I posted about polyp lab medic:

I would do about a scoop and a half each time you are adding it to the tank, maybe even a full two scoops. And as far as I know you should be turning the UV off for about an hour or so after you dose each time.

Sorry to hear about more loss. It's going to get worse before it gets better. It took a couple of days with dosing to notice any change for me.

Hopefully the remaining fish are still eating and with the dosing things should get better.

My fingers are crossed that you don't lose anymore.
