i just got a hippo tang, and am worried because they are known as the lords of ICH. please give me recommendations from preventing the comings of ICH. i believe the fish is ICH free, and i am watching him like a hawk. i also have a UV sterilizer and started putting garlic with the food and i place cloves in the sump. is there any other precautions i should take?

Hippo fare better than powder blue and others tangs. If you keep your fish well fed in clean and stable water temp. they can shrug off a little ich. UV will help if the wattage and flow is apporpriate..

The hippo looks like it has gotten rid of the few spots he had. I am hoping to get a cleaner wrasse or cleaner shrimp, which will help with my sailfin tang. My tomini tang has some sort of worm or very serious parasite, I have no idea what is is.
