I always use copperSafe from mardel and It works realy good in my planted
tank, I tryed Quick Cure is base on malachite green and formalin and It
didn't work at all, used it for two weeks and It didn't do anything, I'm
just wondering why you shouldn't use copper base med in a planted tank ?? it
didn't kill my plants the only thing was that my snails die but I still have
some, good to clean my tank...

What Ich medications work with planted tanks? Thanks!

Use a dye-based medication. The copper-based ones should be avoided in a
planted tank.

The most effective medication is one containing malachite green and
formalin.

See my guide to treating ich in a planted tank:
