 Excellent Fish Ich cure for larger outbreaks and should last a lifetime Jul 05, 2008
By Jill Florio
"Reuse, reduce, recycle!"
This product promotes itself as a fast cure for ich and other parasites, and from my experience it is a very effective treatment. I can't vouch for its claim to cure ich in two days in all cases, but it is a rather fast-working product.
I like that this product is not as harsh a treatment as the wide-spectrum antibiotic preparations that people too often use for fish diseases. While it seems natural to reach for strong microbials when your fish are sick, it can stress out your fish even more, making things worse. QuICK Cure cures ich without resorting to antibiotics.
As with all ich treatment regimes, this works better if you raise the aquarium temperatures and keep the hood lights off. That will help speed along the ich parasite's life cycle and keep your fish in a quiet healing state.
Other caveats - you have to remove the carbon from your aquarium filters before adding the treatment drops, or it won't work at all.
You will need to use the smaller recommended dose with tetras. Thin-skinned fishes, like the catfishes, botias and loaches must actually be removed, since the malachite green in the medication is too readily absorbed and becomes toxic to them.
QuICK Cure comes in a small dropper squeezy container. A 4 oz bottle treats thousands of gallons, which is a lot of ich. In other words, this one product should last your lifetime! Remember not to over-treat; use only the amount recommended per gallon. This product will turn your water blue and will dye anything else it touches. Be careful not to let this stuff touch you too much, since formalin is a cancer-causing agent.
If you have a big ich infestation, I recommend using this medication. Make sure to use it correctly, of course! For a small ich outbreak, you might want to just try high temps, no lights and massive water changes first.

Works as advertised! May 25, 2009

I am by no means an aquarium expert. When my son noticed our Oscar fish was covered with little white dots, I simply googled "little white dots on fish", I came to the diagnosis of Ick. I went to my local pet store and asked them what's best for ick, and they told me they use Quick Cure in their own tanks.
Within 1 week of use, my fish are clear of all signs of ick. Needless to say we're very happy, and I would definitely recommend this product. It's cheap, easy, and it works.

Absolutely the best getting rid of Ick Jan 14, 2011
By Boet
I experienced Ick for the first time with newly received German Blue Rams. I was recommended this product and it worked wonderfully. Following directions I also combined this treatment with slowly raising the temperature of the aquarium. I got it up to 90 degrees and left it there for 3-days before slowly bringing it down. No sign of Ick since and it has been several months. All my fish made it - only a few of my live plants suffered a bit from the heat.

Easy and it really works! Aug 04, 2011
By Kathryn Vincent
I have platy fish that I love very much and was very upset to see they were suffering from ich with pieces of their tail fins actually missing. I have a young platy in my aquarium and was very scared to treat her but this product didn't harm her and healed my fish in three days and three treatments. Treatment is easy, there is no difficult mixing or measuring involved. My fish are now ich free and I am happy! Definitely buy this product, it will work!

Powerful and fast treatment for fish! Jun 20, 2011
By Robert B. Smith

First off, my fish were in bad shape. I was sure I was about to lose all of them, the ick was so thickly present on all of my fish. I have loaches and catfish with no scales, so I was afraid to use this product at first, so I used Kordon organic with no results except brown water. The Kordon had a horrible smell to it too. I decided to take my chances with this QuICK Cure, and used it half strength like directed. Sadly, my loaches didnt make it, but my catfish did, and so did all of my scaled fish. I have a 150 gallon tank with several fish, so losing a few loaches wasnt too bad considering how many of the fish lived.
This product works...period. It does what it says. Make sure you remove the carbon from your filter, and follow instructions, 1 drop per gallon of water (for full strength). This bottle is only 4 ounces, but at 1 drop per gallon, I seriously doubt you'll use it all...ever.
After having tanks for several years, this was my first outbreak...if it happens again, I will reach for my QuICK Cure.
