I think most people who have an ich or velvet out break know the cycle and know what to do , it comes down to if you want to do the work and go through the process of treating it or not .
If treated properly with approved methods and DT left fallow for the 8-9 weeks you will erridicate the ich and be free from it in your DT , and from now on all new additions will need to be Qt or your rolling the dice. Remove the fish , treat with tank transfer method, copper , hypo (probably the hardest of the three) leave the DT fallow 8-9weeks.... Or roll the dice and take your chances if your fish will fight it off or die , those are the only real options I had ich out break when I first set up my 125g years ago decided it was worth it to put in the work to catch and treat the fish fallow the tank and from that moment on all my fish are QT before entering cause I know the work involved Just my 2 cents

My Purple Tang once had ick when first introduce to the tank. I didn't do anything to treat him. Just let him be. Feed normally. Took a week to rid. I never seen any ick since.
In my case, let them be and try not to stress them out.

This is my experience, it is not in accordance with accepted practise.
I had an ich outbreak in my display years ago. I never quarantine. I under-stock. I have low to no nitrates. I raised the temperature and did nothing else. The ich went away. It is possible that the disease we know as "ich" is several different diseases. This could explain why the above approach works for some people and not for others.

Thanks!
I appreciate the input, thank you
I actually reverted to "ginger powder" which I have used in the past and it works great... This time I have done it for a few days and all but the powder tang have dropped the white spots and stopped breathing heavy... I know its part of the cycle but the spots were there for days... Been feeding the medicated pellets and they all eat them except the picasso trigger...
