I am using ick clear to make my fish clear of ick... It says Remove Carbon from filter. I am not sure what that means. Can anyone help, I use a charcol filter.

Carbon is what makes a filter work so get rid of the carbon. Charcol is carbon.

Charcoal is high in carbon. Just remove the charcoal insert or bag or whatever contains it and run the filter without it. That circulates the water. When I had to treat for Ich the tank was pretty nasty by the time it cleared up but it cleans up easy enough.

the little black rocks in your filter are charcoal which is the same as carbon. sometimes you have a carbon coated sponge that is black that you should remove too.
