I had a ick outbreak my first time around the reef, soon after it was setup, it developed into marine velvet wiped out 75% of my stock.

I now feed all my foods are soaked in a garlic solution by kent marine to help that out.

Thanx for the tip on UV TOS, added that to my list!

Sorry to hear about the loss. I also keep my temp at around 84 degrees not sure if it helps keep ich away or not...
