i have a 200 gallon tank, ive had it up for..about 3 years. Everyone in my tank is wonderful, happy healthy. Everyone eats well and looks fine. But everytime i get either an angelfish, butterflyfish or even small tangs they tend to either get ich or a fungus. I feed dried seaweed algae 3x a week, like they need. I'm just not sure why they are getting sick. I dont know if there is something i can use to help them or get rid of the ich that is infecting them. But i cant use copper in my tank because i have to many inverts. I just need to know what i can do to avoid this happening . I hate seening them sick.
I put them in my quantine tank, it goes away and then when they go back in my tank they get it again. I feel like it stresses them out ALOT moving them back and forth. ANy suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The ich is in your main tank. You are going to have to get rid of the ich inthe main tank by taking all the fish out and performing hyposalinity on them in a quarantine tank.
