Question Re: Solve ich problem

Well, Anthony Calfo came to our Reef club this weekend and gave a great talk with Q and A after. I asked about the fallow tank and will it kill all the ich....he said no.

Any opinions, ideas on this theory of leaving the tank fallow for 6 weeks?

He also said, by the time we see the ich on the fish, it has had it in it's gills for quite some time already and the fish will either make it or not. He recommended isolation with a suctioning of the bottom of the QT tank daily with water changes, said that the garlic does seem to have a positive effect, but other that that, the fish will make it on its own, or not.
