BTW, since I didn't have a QT, when my tank had ich, I used a UV sterilizer, and I dosed my food with Garlic Xtreme every time I fed. I kept the UV on for a month. Ich was not noticable after 10 days. The garlic Xtreme keep the fish eating and kept their immune systems as strong as possible. I lost zero fish.
My point in saying that, is that there are ways to combat ich without having a QT, although a QT is probably better.
Just don't use "Reef Safe" medications for ich. I've used three different ones prior to the method explained above, and IMO, all "reef safe" ich medications are cr@p!
