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.

Thanks for the guide. You have a typo though.
It says, do not turn OFF the lights instead on Do not turn ON. "LeighMo" wrote in message ... What Ich medications work with planted tanks? Thanks! Use a dye-based medication.

Ich meds for planted tanks
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...

I'm
just wondering why you shouldn't use copper base med in a planted tank ?? Copper is poisonous to plants. At least, more so than malachite green and formalin. It won't cause immediate problems, but you may notice damage to the plants a few weeks later. Also, many planted tank keepers have snails and shrimp in their tanks. As you noticed, copper is very toxic to invertebrates. Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |
