ick

I did a water change last week 30 gals on my 90 reef but the ick is a lot worst today. Should i do another one before i use the ick attack ?

 

How long have you ick? Is this a reef tank? Any previous treatments?

 

for about a week a guy at my pet shop said i should a water change and i did,but today it's not looking good at all.

 

it's a 90 gal reef

 

The water change won't cure your tank of ick. Your best bet is to catch the fish out and qt them I'd they are broke out bad. How many fish in the tank?

 

ten fish,do you think that the product ( ick attack ) would help

 

I have never had good luck with it. My last ick outbreak in my 90 I caught the fish out and treated them with coppersafe in the qt tank. Then returned them to the display about 35 days later.

 

Well it's going to be a long day i guess, Thanks For The Help

 

Are the fish eating?

Stop the water changes as long as parameters are stable. Doing water changes will only provide more stress, causing a greater issue with the parasite.
