How long should I leave the tank empty the break the white spots cycle?

These white spots your talking about is it ick? And what if you don't have another tank to separate them from other fish?

 

[TheTodd]

Keep them QT'd for about 30 days after the last of the visible white spots. That time will vary. Ideally keep your DT fallow for 6 weeks to let the Ich in there die off.
