Remove and ttm and quarantine all fish, let dt sit fallow. Sorry 2 hear.

You need to set up a hospital tank and move all your fish over to that tank to treat while you let your DT sit fallow.

I'd suggest reading the following:

Ich

Fallow Periods

Thanks everyone

Ich Attack is another word for "snake oil". Tried it. Kept losing fish, lost (or nearly so - there's still a smidge of color there . . . ) a Blastomussa, ich laughed in my face.

Took out all my fish and treated with copper. (This worked, but not well for my wrasses...) Another week or so, and the DT will be ready to receive finned life again.

Hope that your fallow period goes well - and ends with a healthy, happy tank!

Here's a pretty good video on Ich and copper treatment.

I had an inch outbreak also. Since my tank had corals I had to remove the fishes and quarantine them through copper treatment. As well as leaving the display tank fish less for 2-3months

Ich attack doesn't work and you gotta set up a quarantine tank and treat them with copper
