tank compromised by Rid Ich (malachite green)?

My pod population seems to have taken the biggest hit. Their numbers are drastically down.

 

From their consultant:

"Kevin.* The irreversible natural break down of the Kordon*
Rid-Ich+ product in the water within 24 hours is not harmful to coral*
and other aquatic life after 24 hours.* During the breakdown in the*
first 24 hours of use the Rid-Ich+ can be toxic to coral and other*
invertebrates, causing the coral polyps to withdraw.* Therefore, the*
Kordon organic herbal products Ich-Attack or Rid-Fungus are recommended*
to be used in an treating fish when invertebrates are present in the*
water (coral, anemones, shrimp, mollusks, etc.)."

 

fsukum,

Most, if not all have been thru a contaminated new fish before.

I always quarantine at least for a few weeks, and often with PriziPro, sometimes cuppramine also. Purists will say QT for at least 30 days. If the fish looks fine, that's too long for me, in the DT he goes if he looks good and eating after 2 weeks.

Good luck

 

Thanks for your response. I'll definitely quarantine and treat in the future.

 

My LFS replaced my clown for free. I'm very appreciative of that.
