I have recently had an outbreak of ich in my tank. At the recommendation of my LFS, I got Copper Power, a copper sulfate solution, to medicate the tank. According to the bottle, you don't need to remove carbon, but I have seen some conflicting reports. Also, does anyone know how long it takes for copper sulfate to work? I really don't want to lose any fish, and I am wondering if I should use another method. I was thinking of doing salt, but I didn't want to mix remedies without someone else's experience. I have risen the temperature to about 82, but I am not sure whether it is ok to raise it more.
My tank (55 gallon):
2x Blood Parrot (3 inch)
1x Electric blue jack dempsey (4 inch)
1x Pink Tailed Chalceus (4 inch)
1x Royal Pleco (4 inch)
Anyway, I appreciate whatever advice people have. I am new to ich so I am not sure what to do.
