Default Solve ich problem

Hello everyone
I had three times ich in my tanks so i have lost many fish.Then after trying everything i solve the problem.i setup two quarantines tanks and i use water with very low salinity 1.008 - 1.009 and some times 1.007.I know it sound crazy but because i found some reports that very few ich could survive at very low salinity 1.009 i trying to go the lower possible.All the fish i had in my quarantine tanks surviver (Tanks,butterflies,Angels,Gobies,Damsels,Clownfish )
Now i don't care about ich problem.When i have problem i remove all the fish from the tank and i put them in the quarantine tanks for two month.All the times i keep the infected tank for two or three months without fish.Then i put them back and is easy no medication and the most important no fish lost.The quarantines tank after the treatment i low more the salinity to kill any survive ich 1.005 and try to don't put fish for one month.I use mangroves to keep away algae and nitrate.
Don't forget to introduce the new environment to the fish very slowly (two three days)
It is my pleasure if that will help someone
