Seachem Paraguard

Has anyone ever used this stuff either in the tank or as a dip?

Dont get mad brandon, but does it cure ick?

I'm not 100 sure, but I dont think it is as effective as copper on ick. And I def wouldnt put it in the tank if it is a reef. I know at Cbay we werent allowed to drip/mix paraguard water in the liverock tanks (the fish were just above these tanks, so it was difficult not to drip)

seachem says they have had instances where it works well in reefs and instances where it doesnt. That said Id rather not even try it. But it also says it can be used as a dip. I wonder how effective that dip is....followed by a QT if the medicine is good it may be a lot less stressful on the fish (and the human) than Brandons FW dip method with meth blue.

I've used it for dips and hospital tanks.

It seems mild, easy for ths fish to handle.
