Tang... White spots on fin

[Metrontech]

Any of these need to be removed also?

Star fish sand sifter?

Crabs?

Cleaner shrimp?

I am going to run a skimmer and water change every 3 days

Any other suggestions?

Monitor amonia and nitrate obviously

Ammonia is the only thing you need to keep an eye on; fish can tolerate high nitrates so you don't have to worry about that overly so.

Inverts can stay in the DT.

I'm just in this whole process with my 300gal. Took all fish out. The tank is gonna have no fish for the next three to four months to ensure the ich is dead. I had tanks for years before this one and never had a single fish show signs of ich so I believe it is an as per scenario. It was definetly getting worse in my tank. And noticeably... It sucks but IMO to irradicate this crap from the tank you just have to starve it or take your chances. I will never go without quarantine on a fish or coral again. I don't ever want to tear this tank down again. A painful but needed learning lesson for me.... and dont feel bad I tried the magic elixer route too.... Just a friggin waste of money...

I usually just feed my fish selcon and garlic infused food and the ice usually goes away. I have a hippo tang and those guys a ich magnets I also feed a bit heavier when I see ich. the garlic will help boost the immunity.
