Comments on Sticky Note: Dealing with Ich

[peterinwa]

Hi Mark,

You can delete this after you read it.

I used to be very active in these forums and during that time I had horrible problems with ich. It was tough to fight because of having loaches and live plants.

As I delved into it, I started writing notes. I posted them on my website caloriesperhour.com just for a place to park them for others to see.

I'd pretty much forgotten all about this till I sold the site a couple months ago and started to get e-mails asking where my ich notes had gone! So I just parked them on another site of mine.

Would you please correct the link in the sticky note on ich from:

http://www.caloriesperhour.com/fish/notes_ich.html#temp

to the new address:

http://www.WastedGas.com/ich.html

Your notes are a little different than mine in that you give more specific instructions in how to treat loaches for ich. Mine are more of a general tutorial on ich.

Still, since you have your own notes, I wouldn't have even mentioned mine. But I would like you to update the link in mikev's post.

I'm a little selfish in my use of forums. I go to them when I need something, then go away till I need them again.

At least I wrote my ich notes with the idea of helping other.

Thanks for a great forum,

Thanks for the update Peter! Glad to see you around.

Hey Peter.

No need to delete this, IMO. Opinions and techniques vary. The only reason that got added as a sticky was we were overwhelmed with the same question from lots of new aquarists.

Both sets of notes are extremely useful IMO.
