should i trust it?

Ok, so 3 days ago I purchased a green terror. He adjusted nicely to my tank, but 3 days later he develops ich! My tank was totally ichless untill I brought him home so I called the fish store and shure enough they had an ich infestation. The next day I go to buy some ich treatment and as I'm looking I find this stuff caled "Ich-Attack" buy Kordon. It states that its 100% organic. So I buy it, but Iv'e been reluctant to try it. I don't trust it. So has any one used it before? Whats your opinion on it? What does it do to your ph? Does it kill your fish? Please answer.

Thanks but I'd like to know about the product I mentioned. Plus can't ich live in saltwater? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I tried to use it as follow-up treatment to a Rid-Ich+ treatment, but I could only stand to do 1 dose of the stuff. That stuff stinks like 3-day old garbage. Smells horrendous & turns your water this crazy black color. The fish didnt seem to care either way, but I couldn't handle it. It's pricey, so it may just work if you can take the stench...

Yes, but this isn't salt water. Ich is vulnerable to die during reproduction. The salt kills them during this stage. Ich's life cycle also goes much faster with higher temperatures, which is why the temperature is raised. I would say, don't use the product, often times products to cure ich are very strong, stain silicone, and are bad for your fish.
