Hello, I'm new to the forum and to the hobby, but I'm having a problem with ich in my tank. I have a 55 gal saltwater reef tank that's relatively new, meaning I have my rock and sand, but I haven't experimented with corals, yet. I have several Astrea snails, Nassarius snails, emerald crabs, hermit crabs (different kinds), a cleaner shrimp, a sand star, a blue starfish, a long spine urchin, two percula clowns and a kole tang. When I bought the clownfish, I didn't notice right away that one of them had just a few white spots (ich). I kinda freaked out, but in a day or so, they went away (I think on the count of the shrimp). I waited a couple of weeks and bought a kole tang that was competely healthy. Just yesterday, however I noticed that he had white spots on him. I want to treat the entire tank before I put anything else in there, obviously. I have read about the treatments for ich and most say that you can use them with invertebrates. I don't know if this means the organisms I have, or corals and anemones, because as I've said I don't have any of these yet. I was wondering if anyone had a solution that didn't include quarantining. Also, I found a website www.nosickfish.com that says that they have a medicine that will kill most diseases without quartining and it's safe, etc. etc. Has anyone heard of this site and how reputable are they??
