Review on 🔥 Kick-Ich Pro by Ruby Reef - 8 oz (64 oz) by Whitney Richardson

My first use of Kick-Ick and Rally I have a 120 gallon that was installed within two months of being struck down by a disease. I added 2 teal chromis, a yellow mimic tail, a fire angel and 2 ocellaris clownfish. Everything started well, the macroalgae grew well in the swamp. The fish acclimatized perfectly and were very active and communicating with each other and with me. I only fed frozen food and they had an excellent appetite. Then one day I noticed that the fire angel wasn't eating. Upon closer inspection, I could make out a fairly shabby case of ick, or something that caused less pronounced cloud cover than the classic salt-sized ick grains. Other fish were also infected, but to a lesser extent. I've seen this more than once with different settings and destroyed entire tanks in a couple of days. I wasn't able to quarantine that many fish at once, so I had to treat 120 fish. I didn't want to use copper for the treatment because I was planning on using a coral rig. The sales lady recommended Kick-Ick and Rally to me and I've already bought a double pack to prep. I immediately dosed 120 of Kick Ick and Rally. After checking how bad it had gotten after 24 hours, I was glad to find that it hadn't gotten worse. I expected to see the fiery angel gasp, but his appetite returned somewhat. On this second day I only dosed the rally. On the third day I noticed a slight improvement and took both products. I didn't dose on the fourth day either. Depending on the condition of the fish, use of Rally may or may not be discontinued at this point. The improvement was more noticeable and the infection was mostly limited to single ica grains that I could easily count. I would have expected all the fish to be dead or nearly dead by this point if I hadn't treated them. My first impression of the kick-me/rally treatment was very positive. I did not dose on day five and all but one clownfish were healthy. I was very pleased to see that on the sixth day there were no signs of nausea or any other illness. It is recommended to continue treatment for two weeks after all pimples are gone, so I re-dosed Kick-Ich on day 6 and planned to do every third day for two weeks thereafter. On the seventh day, I noticed that the fiery angel had a spot or two, as well as a hint of cloudy fins and eyes. Because of this possible secondary infection, I took Rally again. On the eighth day the fire angel was about the same but I noticed a slight haze and a few spots on other fish. Since this can be classified as a persistent infection, possibly involving several pathogens, I have decided to dose with Rally and Kick-Ich daily in the future. On the ninth day most of the fish looked better except for the fire angel. It looked worse then than before. I thought the haze was a secondary infection that would only affect Rally and stopping Rally on day three gave that pathogen a chance to recover. It also occurred to me that maybe the fire angel had some problems that the other fish didn't have because they were showing the first signs of the disease and having the first relapses. This is possible, although he has always been distinguished by great color, energy and appetite (perhaps cyanide poisoning?). He said I should isolate the fire angel and make a decision the next day. This was based on concern for other fish, as the fire angel's susceptibility to disease made it a breeding ground for pathogens that could overwhelm other fish's defenses. In addition, the smell of the yellow mimic increased the fear of the weakened fiery angel. The interaction between them was playful rather than aggressive, and the fire angel seemed indifferent. Such was nature that mocked the weak. Another thing that came to mind at the time was that the green tint caused by Rally faded faster when the lights were on. I have come to the conclusion that some of the ingredients are photoactive and that to prolong Rally's effectiveness I should dose immediately after the lights go out for the night. It can also refer to the Refugee Light. I took the rally on the evening of the ninth with the lights off. The next morning I was sad to see the fiery angel in his final stages of death. Disappointment and frustration were offset by hope justified by the almost healthy condition of other fish. At this point I concluded that the Kick Ich and Rally treatment was very effective in this case and that the problem was with the Fire Angel. It's sad but true that one unhealthy fish can lead to the death of all of its neighbors in the aquarium. On the tenth day, I noticed that the yellow mimic shaft began to float with the return jet flow almost constantly. He ate a little, and at that point I noticed a cloudiness over one eye. One clownfish was fairly spotted and cloudy but otherwise behaved normally. The other clownfish was fine, as were the two blue-green chromis. I took Kick-Me around noon and rallied with the lights off. What says something about the individuality of the immune system is that both clownfish were aquarium raised and purchased from the same aquarium. They were buddies and looked equally healthy before the infection, but reacted differently to the onslaught. By day 12, the yellowleg was behaving more normally, eating well and appearing less cloudy. Even the sick clown fish got better. The rest of the fish looked fine. The tank hadn't left the forest yet, but I had more reason for hope. The turbidity had disappeared by the thirteenth day, but there was still a significant amount of ichthyon on the shank and one clownfish. Behavior is normal, appetite is good. On the fourteenth day, the condition of the fish improved even more and I thought it more likely that all but the deceased Fire Angel would survive this pandemic in the aquarium. On the fifteenth day, the mimic process showed only one or two cloudy patches and a slight itching, and behaved almost normally. Four other fish looked healthy. On the sixteenth day there was no change. On the seventeenth day the odor seemed to improve. On the eighteenth day I only saw a veil on the pectoral fins of the tail and one or two spots on the tail of one of the chromis. I decided to alternate the days of dosing the two products on day eighteen so that each was used every other day. Both drugs were dosed with the lights off. On the twenty-second day, the odor gradually improved and looked almost cured. Surprisingly, a healthy clownfish swapped places with its mate and got sick. As if they should develop immunity. As with antibiotics, the drug helps the immune system and cannot cure the patient on its own. On the nineteenth day I saw no sign of illness. I've used the Kick Ick/Rally treatment on my fish twice and lost one in six fish. Treatment fees increased, but I wanted to continue treatment for two weeks after seeing no signs of illness. It would be inexpensive to purchase these products by the gallon if you are dealing with a large enough tank. I can't answer whether the Kick-Ich/Rally cure is worth the money compared to other products. However, it has twice proven effective despite failure. Another advantage is that the water does not seem to need to be changed during or after the treatment. I planned to change most of the water over several changes to ensure that any possible build up of toxins or deficiency would weaken the fish.
