First of all.. Welcome with the wonderful world of saltwater aquarium.

it takes few weeks get rid of icks in a quarantine system without add in any new fish in the system. However most of the store has weekly shipment, hence there will always be icks in the system.

Reef tank is harder to get rid of ick if there is some present in the system, since you can't medicate the system with coral and inverts.

without any fish in the system, icks should die out over 3 months period.

check out grezz44 tank build thread. He quarantine his system by the book.
