Haven't had ich in years. Tank is a 125 and I need to buy some from PetSmart tonight.

What should I buy? Preferably something that will not stain the tank.
 
Yeah I've used API too I used it in a pinch and it ruined my fresh silicone job it works well just ruins stuff

I haven't used it in awhile I just remember it working very well i think it might though cause it has malachite green in it not to sure though I would see what the PetSmart has first and just post up what they carry for ich

I'm going to head to the local fish store to see if they have more options and I'll try to report back thanks for the help

Malachite green should be fine with African knives. If worried try half dose and then add again in 12hrs for a full daily dose. Can stain silicone. Water changes and vacuum regularly. Remove any carbon. Best of luck.
