I really don't want to get rid of him, but I am kind of at a loss here as to what to do. Hypo is not an option, I have lots of inverts, and a couple different kinds of polyps in there.

Aquariums are not as relaxing as some people seem to think.

Sorry to hear about he Ich thing. Hypo is done in a QT not in the display tank. Good luck. Hope all gets better soon.

Well, I just looked at him under the actinics, which seem to be the best light for seeing the spots, and there was a drastic reduction over night, as though he knows he is coming close to making a trip back to the store. He has one spot on his cheek, and what looks like remenants of spots on his tail, I would imagine there would be some sort of injury remaining there after the cysts fell off, at least for a while, because they don't actually look like ich spots. Maybe the meds are finally starting to take effect. Here's hoping. I made some water last night, and am going to do a cleaning today too, and then continue the meds. Here's hoping. Thanks all for the advice.

Sorry i didnt see this post earlier, but i did use ICH Attack before, i didnt see much of a difference because i solved the problem the next day, more food and some garlic, it solved it all. just my experiance. I used it in a 10gal quarintine with a 5$ heater and just did water changes. it cost me $15 to set up, and is byfar the best investment yet.
