Can someone share what is the best supplement to dose for ich in a reef tank, I'm sure Ich-x is not coral safe. I have 65 watts of uv, don't really wanna turn my heat up to 80 and stress my corals. I have plent of seaweed, garlic and selcon vitamin supplement to give my fish, also metroplex, Kanoplex,sulfaplex,focus,and neoplex. Please advise, greatly appreciated l.
 
There is no reef safe method to remove ich. Increaseing the temperature would also make things worse imo (simply speeds up the ich life cycle). None of those meds you are feeding work for ich, and I would not recommend feeding them as the correct dosage from feeding is near impossible for a someone to do correctly (plus the fish likely won't eat metro at the right level as its so bitter). I would not blindly feed anti biotics to a fish either for numerous reasons.
