Boosting the water temprature during the med treatments
also helps. Seems the parasite goes through it's stages faster
in the 80 temps and kills more of them.

I recently had an ick outbreak in my tank and was wondering. If i add
kick
ick do i need to take my activated carbon out of my filter? I was told
that
it will remove all medications from the water.

I had a similar experience. I had some ick in the tank, started treatment
and got nowhere. The ick just got worse. Then I heard about the carbon,
took
it out, re treated and it went away almost immedietely. Now it is possible
that it would have gone anyway, but without evidence to the contrary, I
now
believe that removing the carbon is best.
