there is a way to get rid of ich completly its long and drawn out and has to be done from the start. add all your sand, and some live rock let tank cycle add the rest of your live rock wait for the levels to return to normal if there is any die off. then add inverts wait 60 days before adding any fish. the ich will starve with no host. qt. all fish for 4weeks with copper in a seperate tank. after that you can add them. then before you add any more corals or inverts get another qt. tank and qt. all those for 30 to 60 days make sure no copper in that water and that will starve any hitch hikers. then you can place them in your ich free tank. as far as i know this would be the only full proof way to have a completely ich free tank and it would be a long and drawn out way to do it but it would be effective.
