Thanks for the replies. I do soak my food in garlic and have been using it for about two months now and the ich goes away for a couple days and then comes right back. As far as the temp thing goes I was going on Woody's advice to ditch the heater and have had no problems in the last year. He bases his theory on heat that in a reef the temp will swing with the tides and also if a heater goes bad you can cook your tank. I think the ich came in on a couple of clowns I purchased about three months ago. At any rate, I have put heaters back in the tanks and I figure I stare into the thing enough each day if a heater fries I will catch it in a few hours. Once again thanks for the info.
If anyone in Bridgetown has a refractometer they have lying around I would be interested in buying it. Been using one of those plastic swing arm jobbies and with running my qt hypo I think I need something a little more accurate.
