If your fish have ich, you should use copper. That’s the only medicine that is truly effective.

I am not familiar with what medications are available in Norway. If you have access to coppersafe or copper power or cupramine, that would be the way to go,
If copper not available and if this tank has no invertebrates or corals, hyposalinity would be an option. If you need instructions for either let us know.

Jupp, almost round will be in qt with all the fish, either copper or hyposalinity

Polyplab Medic

Polyplab Medic is a highly effective antiparasitic water conditioner used to de-pollute water in both marine and freshwater environments. It contains a reef-safe oxidizing agent and is particularly effective against Marine Ich, Freshwater Ich, and Marine Velvet.

I tried this as it is reef safe (have a lot of corals)

advice wanted on the best method when new fish shall be bought, qt and medicine or low salt level?

I assumed that was why you chose that product. We have not found it to be effective fighting ich. So QT will be best. Coppersafe or copper power should be dosed at 2.25 - 2.50 ppm . Cupramine should be dosed at 0.50 ppm. Whichever you choose, use two half doses 3 to 6 hours apart. Check concentration after each half dose. Maintain for 30 days. Allow you main tank to remain fishless for 6 to 8 weeks so all parasites die off.

Medic is not as effective as claimed and is merely peroxide salts which peroxide does not always work for disease, and you will want to sterile clean tank and reset with copper for the future.
For copper, you will want to place chromis fish in Quarantine tank and treat with Coppersafe or Copper Power at therapeutic level 2.25-2.5 For a FULL 30 days (do not interrupt this 30 day period) monitored by a reliable Copper Test kit such as Hanna Brand- No API brand. Also monitor Ammonia levels while in quarantine with a reliable test kit and add aeration during treatment using an air stone.
