Lol not really headbang worthy. It doesn't seem to be working then if you are not seeing improvement by now, heat it up more.

oh i didnt mean the headbang i just do that in most of my theads.

the temp is up all the way

How much is very little improvement. I'd expect it to be around 30% better than Sunday, as cysts fall of after 2-3 days.

well the red devil still looks the same the eatheater looks 40% better

temp needs to be over 86 degrees F. and coppersafe is not the best for treating ick and it can actually kill some fish. heat is the best treatment for ick, and the next best thing is to add a little salt. there is a sticky in this section about treating ick with heat and salt. read it.
