Never heard of it. Maybe worth a shot trying it if you find some but I've had great luck not having any ick problems by reducing fish stress and keep multiple cleaner shrimp. If you start using that product, let us all know how it does for you.

I always thought Quick cure was toxic to corals and inverts if dosed to the main display. At least that's what I've always been told. Never researched it though. Also it stains the silicone. That being said, I never quarantine any livestock and I've never have any reason to treat for Ick. Once in a while I'll see a few spots here and there but its gone within hours. I can only assume that my fish must have fairly healthy immune systems along with my good water quality and many cleaner shrimp that help reduce fish stress enough to keep ick under control.

Naso tangs get so huge. Up to 18 inches in some cases. Might take that into consideration depending on your tank size. I take care of a tank for a friend who has a blond naso tang in a 220 gal tank and it has already out grown that tank after just a couple years. That naso is over 12 inches already.
