Hello All,

Can anyone tell me when I should begin hyposalinity? I am trying to use some natural (garlic) ingredients to see if the ich would go away!! here is my story....

I have a 125 gal F.O. tank and have 4 fishes: Regal tang, Val tang, Personifer Angel and a MI....

Just a few days ago I noticed that my regal tang is scratching himself against my live rock.. last night I saw him scratching himself more against the rock and then I spoted some white spots on his body (near the tail end)... I also think my Personifer also has it (saw some very small spots on him)...

I have my UV 5 watts light turned on and started to feed them garlic soaked food. I can borrow a much larger UV sterlizer (double helix) if needed.. Can a strong UV kill the ich on the fish?? I'm also afraid that hyposlaiinity might kill some of my delicate fish (MI)...

Can anyone please help me!!

I do not have a secondary tank and trying to avoid copper in my system...

- ecosystem (macro Algae)
- 80 punds LR
- 4 inch live sand


Thanks so much

Steve
