Another Ick Question

[Sunshine]

Has anyone ever treated a Tang in a quarantine tank with API Super Ick Cure ? And if so, did it work or did the Tang die ? My LFS guy said it will poison a Tang.

It has 3.6 mg of Malachite Green and 60 mg of Nitrofurazone.

Those ick medications sold at LFS are not any good. Never known any to work. Hyposalinity and copper are the way to go. Read these.
