I gave up on my 75 gal marine aquaria a few years ago, and I never forgave myself. Of course, I didn't have the folks here at 3reef to help!... I now have cut it down to a 30g freshwater with a large sump... and my african beauties came down with ICH. The point is, freshwater, brackish, or marine, all aquaria can have issues. Trading one type for another isn't going to resolve the issue at all. Like the others have said. Wait it out a few months, keep the stress down, and they're likely to overcome the nasty lil' parasites- you can try more aggressive remedies later on if some good time and a stress free environment don't solve the issues.
