How to treat ich in a planted tank?

[Derek Johnson <djohnson1981 at yahoo_com>]

I'd go with the old standby maracide - by mardel labs
- doesn't harm the
biofilter, plants, scaleless fish, etc, etc.  It's not
the usual malachite
green (although it is green) there's a combination of
several compounds in
this stuff, and it works.  I've never had ich survive,
and it doesn't stain
the silicone either.

Just ignore that nice green color in the water for a
week...
