Don't you love all the positive feedback and support you can find here Tony...
don't let any of these bleeding hearts get you down, everyone has a learning curve when they first get into reefing.
Some people really enjoy and excell at research and its application...others simply have to learn as they go and maybe even thats part of the attraction for a lot of reefers...trial and error.
Many people go through this same thing or very similar situations...even if they don't post it up for fear of people who are so intensely wrapped up in their small world of beliefs and false morals that they dress their fish up and photograph them...just to make some statement that they have somehow given themelves the right to police the industry...lol
Don't sweat the crybabies and learn where and when you can, whichever way suits your M.O.
This is a good community for the most part and not everyone will jump down your throat for making statements like this, so take note of the people who just want to preach and avoid them when looking to ask questions.
You should definitely consider setting up a temporary tank for your remaining fish and letting the illness run its course in your tank with no hosts for reproduction you should be worry free in 2 - 3 months and in the meantime, you can add a coral or two and let your tank settle and establish itself.
You can also use the other tank (I have one you can borrow) to treat your remaining fish with a simple hyposalinity treatment to ensure they dont just reintroduce the Ich to your tank when things are safe in your display again.
This is all really easy to do, it will just take a little patience...
