I had an "Ich" outbreak after I over loaded my tank with fishes. 24 fishes in 1 32 gal, lol! Poor fishes, had to fight for territories. The reason why I got away with this because I have 3 refugiums. A 30 Gal, 10 Gal and 5 Gal. Half of my fishes died because of the Ich infestation.

I got rid of it after I purchased a UV sterilizer. I'm using 15Watt UV Sterilizer running 24/7. Also, I added 2 cleaner shrimp and 1 fire shrimp. The Ich started disappearing and now my tank is Ich free. I also have a chiller and heater to keep my temp stable and set at 78 degrees.

Also, I used Marine-Fish Vital to increase my fishes immune system and appetite. Also, soaked their food with vitamins, Hufa and garlic (GVH Fish Food Soak).

BTW, even if all your fish dies, the Ich stays in the water. Ozonizer is powerful on removing those stuff. I used it before back when I had my 250 gal reef but I had to stop using it. It kept giving me a headache even if I turned it lower.

I never learned my lesson, I started adding fish again. I now have 16, lol!

I missed my Swiss Guard, lol! What a waste!

Also, stay away from live Brine Shrimp. Use frozen ones instead and just soak it with vitamins.
