Fish are quarantined now what?

[Screamin 99]

I am battling ich righ now and need to know what to do with my tank. I did a freshwater dip and quarantined them today in a 10 gallon. i also added some copper medication in the quarantine tank. I need to know what to do to the main tank so i can put them back in and how long they should be isolated. My tank is a 14g biocube. i have a bubble coral frag, a nice colony of zoos, a cleaner shrimp, 2 turbo snails, 2 nassuarus snails, some blue leg hermits and some other small snails. How do i get rid of this parasite without harming my corals and inverts. TIA

Leave the tank fallow for 6-8 weeks, keep up with the PWCs and feed the tank sparingly.
The ich need fish to live so your inverts will be ok.
Nice car, I have the '02 35th anniversary one!

Thanks, is there anything i can add to the tank to speed it up? Marine no-ich perhaps?

Nope. Time without fish is the only thing that will break the cycle.

I agree. Dont add anything. Fishless will break the cycle. Read these.

Wouldn't hurt to de-worm your fish if they're in qt (Fenbendazole and Praziquantel)
