    Im fairly new to the hobby. My tank has been set up for about 10 months now. So i have what i beleive to be an ich outbreak. The outbreak became noticeable about 1 week ago when i noticed it on my Eibli angel. I went out and got a neon goby but unfortunately it was to late. The next morning the Eibli passed away. I then noticed it on my sixline when he started scraping on rocks but it seems to have passed now. Then yesterday i see my neon has it and today he is dead. I have been using garlic and doing water changes. Any help would be good help.

    uv sterilizer, ive had really good luck with a float tab called life guard,, but with that and most chem's you need to take carbon out

    if your temp is about 75, could raise it to 78 79 to try to cook it out
