How can I have Ich?

[sw65galma]

I've had new editions for atleast 3-4Months.
My water is ok
PH=8.2
Amonia=0
Nitrite=0
Nitrate=20ppm
SG=1.026
Like I said, I haven't had any new editions in Months, how can my fish get ICH?
I have all Damsels, and My Domino is almost white..he doesn't look t good.
I think the whole tank has ICH, I have 12 damsels and a 29 Gal QT, I think I'm going to move them all in there, but I, I have a poor chomis that got beat up in there, I have no idea where I can put him i'm still confused on how I could get ICH?

They look faded, but I don't actually see ich on them. Do they have the white salt-like dots?

They look as though they've been dipped in Salt. The reason that one looked faded was the amount of white that was all over him. It almost looked like Broolynella, but then I saw the white dots on thier fins..
they look at lot better today. I'm hoping the ozone is killing them and the UV light.

soak their food in garlic juice

one theory is that ich is constantly present and all it takes is a drop in the immune system to bring on an infestation. i've had ich breakouts in tanks with no new additions..... there's not much you can do except to bolster their immune systems with garlic and vitamins and keep them eating....
