Who needs to be treated for ich?

[brucesly]

I have a Powder blue tang that are showing signs of ich.
The only other fish I have are 4 Chromis and they are not yet showing signs of ich.
But, Its my understanding that I have to treat everyone for ich.
Does that include all my inverts too? how about my coral? I also have an anenome...

I just broke down my QT ... would it be okay to startup again without cycling tank?

What is the best treatment for ich?

How long should fish be in QT before reintroducing them to display tank?

[kdoodlie]

There are a few different ways to treat ich- you need to decide if you want to QT or treat the tank with a reef safe product. Just the fish will be affected by ich.

[brucesly]

which is most effective? QT or Main tank treatments?

I'm looking for long term results... I want eliminate ich for good.

I want to add a couple more fish soon... well not that soon since this breakout.

The only proven effective methods require a QT. Hyposalinity is generally the preferred method. All of the fish need to be treated for at least 6 weeks. Don't add any new fish to the main tank during that period.
