Default Tank Fallow for 9 Weeks Now, Safe to Re-Introduce Fish?

So........I've had a really tough battle with Marine Ich over the past few months. I've had my DT fallow for 9 weeks now, I've researched as much as I could about Ich.

I'd like everyone's opinion to see if it is safe to re-introduce fish back into my DT now?

I'm just really nervous about it. I had lost majority of all the fish I had.

Thanks for the reply!

just be careful about the fish that you re-select to enter... quarentine new fish after the first. if you buy them from the store, make sure they are eating and in good health before you take them home! then go slow.. 1 fish every couple weeks

What if you kill more fish in the quarantine tank then if you would just put them in the display.

I say it's time to put them in.

i'm bad for not qt'ing my fish.... but i also only will take home healthy fish with no visable signs of disease, and the fish must eat... i check all fins, see how it swims with other fish! i'm sure it'll be slightly different with the 6' tank whenever i get that going!!!!

That's how I selected the Tang that killed my entire tank...now everything gets quarantined and treated before going in the display..
