mohd - I'm not sure if any of the reef safe products truely eliminate ich, or that you would be able to see the ich is gone (even if you don't see any spots). The best thing to do would be QT all fish in hyposalinity and leave the display tank fishless for 4 weeks or so. I'm not familiar with that particular product, or what is in it. It may be "reef safe", or it may be harmful to your system, as well. Here is an article you may find interesting. It is on reef-safe treatments and how they effected Xenia: The Effects of Various "Reef-Safe" Treatments on Xenia sp. in a Controlled Setting by Steven Pro.

I used the Kick Ich treatment a while back. It seems to have gotten rid of the Ich. It did not damage any of my corals, but most of my snails died. If the Ich comes back, I will not use it again. I would opt for quarantine if I had to do it over again.

Is it a good idea for bring the temp up to 32-33 c' to speed up the stage of thophon and tomite for the medicine to kill off in swimming stage?

I just found the topic of ick life cycle in the forum then I just need to speed up of its each stage, in the same way the method of treatment by such Reef Safe medicine still be used as they recommened. but nobody can tell me the answer the period of each stage.

Each stage varies based on environmental factors so there is no set duration. Suffice it to say, you will not cure the problem this way but here is the info you are looking for.
