HELP!!! My first battle with ich

[Europhyllia]

What Rob said.

Increasing temp won't help. The following 3 things will help fish when infected with ich. You'll still have it in your tank, but this can keep it under control:

1) keep them from being stressed (chased - rearrange the rock if necessary)

2) keep them fat

3) maintain the BEST water quality.

I agree with Bill. There are always going to be some kind of things around. It's when fish get stressed/weak/etc. when they succumb to the stuff that's around so see if you can eliminate/improve on any of the above items
Good Luck!

you could also try a cleaner wrasse or cleaner shrimp, they will actually eat the ich right off the fish.

Please read the referenced post at the top of the thread. This is an often repeated reef-myth. The parasite that causes marine ich is not removed by either cleaner wrasse or cleaner shrimp.
