Answer 1

That is good just make sure you take your carbon filter out before you treat the WHOLE tank. You need to also make sure that the tank has a good air source. Most Ick treatments take the oxygen out of the tank.

Triple Sulfate is also a good product to use.

You could also get CopperSafe to put in your tank once a month to help your fish out from catching Ick again.

It works really good.

Good luck!

Answer 2

get a proprietary medication from your pet store for treating white-spot.you will need to treat the whole tank,due to the ich life cycle.follow the directions on the package.regular water changes in the future will prevent ich returning,as with careful feeding.
