If I'm going to run an ick treatment can I use chemiclean before hand to kill the red and green algae first?
 
Chemiclean is an antibiotic, erythromycin
Polyp lab medic for ich? or ?

Ick is a fish only parasite and fish must be treated outside the display tank to be successful.
If you have had a fish with Ick in your display, then Ick is in your display. In this case you only need to leave the display without fish for 45 days (if you don’t increase temp) or 70ish without.

While I have used Chemi before, I would never do anything at the same time.

Fix one thing at a time…..I work the ick thing first.

Tank did sit roughly 90 days without anything in it. My royal gramma showed signs and died after a week but no one else is showing any signs
 
If you plan on copper for ich you will never be able to have inverts.
As far as chemicals for cyano; sometimes they work, and sometimes not and can do more harm than good.

I'm going to use ick x and ralley
 
 
Well that's good to know thank you
 
So since I don't have a QT it seems that I don't have a great chance with that working? If I'm understanding it correctly
 
Has anyone tried kick ich rally same time with chemiclean? I've seen two fishes flashing, royal blue hippo and midas blenny. Same time I'm experience green cyano, bubble algae and gha. Assist please.
