Angry I got Ich!!

I tried so hard to not get it, but must of been in the live sand I got from two LFS in my area!! I never seen it spread so fast. I'm going to try the hyposalinity treatment, but I have some questions.

1. Since there will no longer be fish in my main tank, do I need to feed my corals/inverts/detrievoers anything? If so should I just put in so flake food 1-2 time a week?

2. With the fish being out for roughly 1 1/2 months when I put them back in do I need to treat it as if I was putting fish in for the first time? Meaing will I have to put in only 1-2 fish per week? Doesn't the benifical bacteria decrease since there will be no need for all of it with less waste to deal with? I just don't want to do all this work, just to lose them to an ammonia spike when I put them back in.

I have 2 True Clowns, 1 Coral Beauty, 1 Sixline, 1 Watchman Goby (Do you think a 10gal will be okay for a hospital tank?)

Thanks and wish me luck!
