SRC Member andylee Posted December 7, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted December 7, 2005 Doctor shrimp can't really cure ich. better cure will be hypo or reef-safe medicate Project R.E.

SRC Member southpaw23 Posted December 7, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted December 7, 2005 Not entirely true....most times, the sally lightfoot will not be able to harm a fish as it'll be too slow for most fishes...unless the fish is ill to begin with. Haven't had much problems with them thus far.... I haven't faced much luck with turbo snails on longer hair algae...and when they get too big...can be a lil clumsy....perhaps a combination of both might work for you....either way..good luck with it...

SRC Member andylee Posted December 8, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted December 8, 2005 Bro, tot ur initial problem is to cure ich and not algae problem?

SRC Member Mr CRABS Posted December 8, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 8, 2005 Cure ICh was my primary problem.another problem is the algae(dun wish to start a new thread for it)..Darn end up with soo many problems..But i bought certain medicines for ICH.Only 50%of the result was positive.thats why intend to get a living creature that would naturally eat them up......Wah algae cannot control,every day on my sand and glass got different type of algae.clearing them up is the hardest job. 3.5 X 2.5 X 2.5 Reef Coming up ) 136+39(UK) 163+47(US) 618+178L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member andylee Posted December 8, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted December 8, 2005 try getting fire shrimp instead of cleaner shrimp i seen my blue tang approaching it for clean up.. can see considerable less ich after abt 4 days.. but no guarantees.. the improvement may be due to the water change i did also Project R.E.
