My understanding is that Ich is everywhere. Unless you start with sterile everthing and don't put any livestock in the tank you'll have Ich in there. I'm with Sean, hyposalinity and copper...

So what is the low down on those Pin Point probes, I've got the pH meter and need a new probe, should I just forget it then and buy a reagent test kit? Are the probes/meters accurate?
