Ick

by breaknrun911

I have a yellow eye kole tang and a yellow tang. the kole has ick and the yellow has a cloudy eye. I bought medicine and it states "not suitable for inverts or coral" the dosage is one pill per 10gal. i have a 50gal, my hospitality tank is not up and running yet. should i put the pill in my community tank or should i set up a hospital? im not tyring to lose fish b/c of illness cuz im setting up another tank. but i dont want to lose my inverts by adding the pills in it.

HELP

yeap.. either the jar variety, or the actual clove version, make sure the jar version has no additive, just pure crushed garlic.

Do you know if that works in fw as well as sw? I'm just getting over my ich case in my fw tank, and it sure would be nicer to have used something a little cheaper than the ich cure I bought.
