If you are Daniel Knop, Julian Sprung, Bob Fenner or any of the leading advisors in the saltwater community then I would not care about your sources, as I could take your word as is. But you are not, so it would be nice to see the sources to which you are deriving your opinion. This will be my last post on the matter. Purple

From Bob's website: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ichartmar.htm

For those choosing not to go chase the whole freakin' article down:

"There are no "reef-safe" and effective treatments for crypt. NONE."

His emphasis, not mine. Note in his treatments, he covers several items. Cleaner Shrimp is not one of them. His continued long time belief is that cleaner wrasses should not be collected.

How old is your U.V. bulb, they should be changed every 6 months.

U.V. helps me keep my Powder Blue tang Ich free. Each time I have taken the U.V. offline, the Powder Blue has had an outbreak. When I put the sterilizer back in service the ick problem resolves itself. This had happened about 6 times now.

You would think I would have learned my lesson by now, double check everything...

Pete, do you run your UV 24/7?

I recently picked one up and put it in place yesterday morning around four. I have yet to wait till I get home, but yesterday evening the water column itself was remarkably clear. I had intended to run it, after the ich and cyano recession, only on the weekends. Kind of let the water build the nutrients back up.

Oh, and I got the 36Watt Turbo Twist.

SURE FIRE MARINE ICH CURE!
I have found the ultimate cure for ich! Empty the tank, get rid of the fish, dry out and sun bleach the rock, sand and equipment. Poof! The ich is gone! (One alternative method involves nuclear weapons but, they are getting hard to come by now that Sadaam is out of business)

Now, seriously, ich seems to be an ever present problem. There is no cure except to break the cycle by removing the host and leaving the tank without fish long enough for the parasite to die off- weeks to months. New fish may still carry the parasite but be resistant and only fall victim to it under times of stress.

I'm pretty sure I saw one at Polly's Pets in New Braunfels. You can also try Reefs2U. They are both fairly close.
