How many fish do you have left? Is it possible to set up a hospital tank and treat the fish for ich and leave the main display empty of fish for 4+ weeks so that the ich can run it's cycle?

Cheers,

Ivy, is there no one around you that can take these fish to a healthier place until you figure this out??

Fish are in a Hyposalinty Hospital tank right now...

Lemon Clown Goby (no copper coz of this little guy)
2 Clowns
1 Tang
1 Carpenter's wrasse
1 Green Wrasse
1 Firefish.

UV is on the hypo tank, and I'm feeding garlic and selcon soaked mysis. Planning on keeping up regular water changes in the main tank to remove some of the tormonts. Is there anything else I can do?

Sounds like you are doing a good job of it......... just remember not to reintroduce your fish back to the main tank for 4+ weeks so that the ich has had time to clear up.

Are you doing freshwater dips?

Yah, let that tank lie fallow until the ick is all dead.
