Okay, I have gone through this a number of times. I do not believe that leaving a tank fallow works. For this reason, the Ick encysts, which is a survival method. All the literature states that the Ick breaks out of its cysts, and not finding a host the Ick dies, and the cycle is broken. In my experience that is not true. Encysting is for long term survival of the species, and six weeks is not long term.
in my experience the Ick is present in the tank at all time, and under proper conditions will reinfect susceptible fish. And really I do not care what the experts say. I am using both logic and experience. Now for OCDP, I have a 10 gallon tank, which has been running for a long time. If you want you can bring the fish over, and I will attempt treatment. For those who don't believe Kick Ick works, it does if you follow the directions carefully. It has worked for me.
