Putting vcoper in a marine fish tank is bad to do. A quick and simple
dip in RODI water that is preferablly temp and PH matched tothe tanks
water is a very effective way to fix an ICH problem. Use a separate
tank or container to use for the dip of about 1 or 2 minutes. I let em
in for as long as possible or up till the fish starts to stress out. I
also like to keep the tank free of any fish for a couple of weeks as
well after the infected fish are removed in additon to healthy fish as
without a host the ich parasite will die. It pays to have a basic bare
hospital or quarantine tank with fresh or salt water fish.

Odds are you may have problems if you ever decide to have any inverts
with the copper that is in any live rock or silicone seals, but if its
a fish only tank its not a problem other than the usual staining of
the silicone seals. When you dip a marine fish with ICH in freshwater
you can literally see the parasites
"explode and drop off the fish"


I think they refer to the above as "The Fools Cure", in honor of you ...
8-)

Most people would use a hospital tank to limit the amount of expensive
meds used, save non-ill fish from having to suffer treatment, etc.

But with a fool, such as yourself, anything probably goes ... :-(

Perhaps you and your gay buddies can use the Reverse Osmosis -
De-Ionized water for your daily enemas, instead?

The only, re-occuring, problem I have found in news groups is the
worthless-brain-dead postings done by gay-inbreeding-georgians, such as
expat (attempts to claim it is an "ex-pathetic-fool", or just shortened
to "expat." -- Others claim he makes it attempt to stand for
"ex-pathetic retard.")

Any using these news groups will have to learn how to filter his posts ...
