i HAVE used the search. and all it does is give me two opposite ends of the spectrum. so i came on here to ask for help to maybe get a definite answer.

Look for ick medications at your lfs, or add a bit of aquarium salt. That's what people usually do.
 
Yea 1 tbsp per every 10 gallons of water and raise the temperature a little.
 
ok. thakyou all
 
get the temp above either 82 or 84f and it will clear up in a matter of days with the addition of the salt.

ok thats cool.
 
If I remember correctly for ich, don't medicate, you want to add 1 tbs of aquarium salt per 5 gallons and raise your temperature to 87 degrees F. Ich cannot survive at that temp and will die off after a few days, but keep the temp up for a week minimum to make sure. Before you go raising your temperature though...what kind of fish are we talking about? If it's cichlids, you'll be fine...any others though, you may want to get a 2nd opinion. Good luck, I hope everything works out for you.
