Question Is There any Medicated foods that I can buy

Hello All, I have been having a Ich problem, with my 90gal. reef tank for about a month now. I tryed that Stop Parasite with no luck. I think most of my fish has fought it off on there own. But I still have it once in awhile show up on them. All my water parameters are good, but I don't have a Q-tank yet. I am setting one up next month. But in the mean time I would like to see if there is any medicated foods I can buy that works. I tryed soaking the foods in garlic but it did'nt work. Please let me know what brand makes a good medicated flake food

KEnt and Ocean nutrition sell garlic soaked food that could help as a preventative. How many fish do you have in that tank?

Try using Kent Garlic Extreme. Add it directly into the tank as per the directions. This won't cure the fish of the parasite but it probably will help slow the ich down until you you get that hospital tank up and running. Make sure you do get that hospital tank, as you can't safely treat ich in the same tank with inverts and corals. Good luck.
