parasites

I live in canada and since the government has stop all meds for our fish I have been experimenting with herbs.I have repelled ich and black ich along with some worms.It seems that ginger contains zingibain,and garlic also strengthen immune system.The zingibain is supposed to dissolve the eggs and kill the parasites.I have been using this combo four about four months and I have rid my tank of these pest.Or at least build up there immune system to fight them off.Anyone that has these pest know that if it is in your reef there is no way to catch them.The mixture that I use is four garlic cloves crushed and put into a jar with r o water and five or six thin slices of ginger.Let sit for twenty for hours and your set to go.I mix with there frozen food and they love it and I have had no ill affects on anything in my tank.I just thought I would pass it along for those that would like to try it.Trust me it is a lot better than tearing that tank down to catch them.Happy reefing

Interesting to say the least. I wish @Humblefish was active as I feel he would love this. @HotRocks, @4FordFamily

well this worked for me and I am sure it would work for others.I am also exsperimenting doing baths on new fish instead of Q T .I haven't done enough test yet but so far so good.My local LFS doesn't QT so they are great to get fish from for these test.In another three of four months I will post my findings and let everyone know good or bad.
