if its ich go increase the temperature to ard 30 degrees celsius...then add a bit of salt ..ard 1 teaspoon per 5-10 gallons of water..this should kill the waterborne ich...anyway if u are using medication..use less that the prescribe dosage..just a bit will do

hope this helps...regards...u do not have to remove the plants

I used Mardel's coppersafe med, didn;t affect my plants that much. The ich was gone after a week with the medication. I medicated for 2 weeks just to be sure.
