my blue tang seem to have ick and is getting worse and worse i’m treating it with supper ick cure which i got at the store is there anything else i could do to help the fish.
I personally like fritz copper or drag me paraguard. For 2 weeks. Dosing instructions are on backs of products. I like to add in some pvc pipe or something for them to hide in and feel more protected. Airstone in quarantine tank is a +1 as well when suing these products.

Super ich cure is malachite green, which is ineffective in saltwater. Same for paraguard. To treat for marine ich, copper medicines (ideally coppersafe or copper power) are the treatment of choice.
Hyposalinity is also a viable option in a FOWLR if quarantine isn’t possible.
