I’ve never been able to, although the stains do seem to fade with time. I wonder if a bleaching agent like peroxide would work?

Dag, how long ago did you use it?

I stopped using dye medications for the most part. I’m recalling from back in the day when I worked in wholesale, most of our silicone tanks were permenantly stained. I wonder if folks have discovered a way to fix that now...

I wish I would’ve known that before purchasing it, thing is everyone said ich x was the best way outside of using copper which I heard was unhealthy for fish

Copper is the best anti-protozoan treatment for marine fish, when done properly.

I did a Google search just now, I didn't find any solutions to removing these stains, except what we used to do - cut the blue silicone out and reseal the tank (sigh).
