I think you'll be please with the results from herbtana, just make sure you got microbe lift. Thats the kind you want for ich. I treated my tank almost a year ago now and havent had an outbreak since. The nice thing is that its safe for fish and corals, unlike some brands that have warnings on the bottle that it could potentially kill the fish if they are already in poor health. You'll want to leave your skimmer off while treating, I think 10 days, but what I did, was turned it off in the morning, then treated the tank right after, leaving it off for the day, then turning it back on for the night. If you leave your skimmer on during treatment it most likely will cause it to over flow as well as skim out the medication causing it to be ineffective.
