Ich?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
A UV light/sterilizer will kill Ich when it is in it's free floating stage. I've never run a UV before, but if you have a stubborn case of Ich, it will help to eliminate it and they can help to prevent outbreaks.

You can add one, but I would just stick with keeping the temp at around 85F and 1 Tablespoon of Salt per 5 gallons of water and you will be fine. I just treated my tank and my loaches had so many spots of ich, they looked white. One week later, it's totally cleared up using high temps and salt.

Good luck.
 
Yes slowly increase the temp over several hours and leave it there for 10 days. Be careful using medications other than salt with heat tho they can be fatal!! It also helps to increase airation in the tank since higher temps carry less oxygen and ich attacks the gills as well
