I believe my new Kole Eye Tang has a case of ich. After plowing through much research, I have added Kents Extreme Garlic to the frozen food regularly. Now I believe one of my Helrichi Firefish also has it. It has got me a bit worried. I have spent a large amount of money adding 10 new fish in the last 5 weeks. Is there anything else I should be doing?
 
Mark- fire away with any questions you may have in regards to my set up, what type of food I feed, lights and the such. All help is very much appreciated.
 -Thanks in advance, David.

Just read the thread in my Tips section below. Feed the best foods, not just Brine Shrimp and flakes. If the Ich isn't gone within 2 days, switch to a different Garlic Oil. The cheap stinky stuff from the grocery store works just as well as the expensive hobby stuff. It must be marinated in meaty food without water.

Check for any other changes or poor conditions in the tank that could be stressing them. Ouch

UV sterilizer... quickly. Borrow one if you have to. IMO the only ich cure

Anyone have a UV Sterilizer I could borrow? I will probably end up getting one soon after. But time is of the essence.
