If you don't have any coral in the tank, then it would be fairly easy to treat.. If you do, then you can try some of the commercial treatments that are reef safe, although their effectiveness is always a debate.. I have used Kordon's Ich Attack successfully but double dosed it.. I know others that have used it without success.

I have seen it come and go on it's own but rarely.. Other methods of treatment are freshwater dips, hypo salinity & raising the temperature.

Others will offer more advice i'm sure
