Leaving the tank for 8 weeks without fish is enough. The trigger may or may not be fine. I lost all but one fish, a small goby. It survived weeks in the infected tank before I caught it and treated it. Some fish can build an immunity to it...if the trigger was exposed previously in the wild or in transport, but not fatally, it could have resistance to the protozoan.
