Put this in General section my friend. This is the Buy sell or Trade section.

What I would do is just do a search online for Copper safe and saltwater Eels.

 

I tried when I go to general it doesn't let me post?

i have tryed almost all treatments and the only one that worked was cooper,,,i have uv and tryed droping salt level also tryed melafix then to ich meds . do i need to start the tank over

 

I used instant ocean lifeguard in the past with good success. I also have a couple sharknose gobies they are good at clearing up spots on fish and keeping them clean. Good luck

 

is there one treatment like freash water???? anything i can leave in for like a day or so and do big water changes?? u no magic .lol

 

could always put eel in different tank an treat with copper then put him back in after

 

I would remove eel and treat the other fish. Had same situation 3 months ago but I had too much live rock and coral and lost 5 fish. It sucks! Good luck.

 

How many other fish are in there? Would it be possible to pull the other fish out and treat them with copper in a seperate tank? What kind of fish are they? The only problems I've ever had with ich seem to pop up when my tangs and flame angel aren't getting enough green food. Seems to clear up after a little while if I feed garlic soaked nori daily.
