How do you treat your Display tank for ich?

[ocellaris_keeper]

I have 65lbs of LR and 3" of LS, 30 snails, 30 hermits, one urchin, 1 horse shoe crab, assorted mushrooms and other poylps, feather dusters and some 14 fish. I have two protien skimmers, a 500 GPH powerhead and a filter rated at 75 gal (this is just to use the activated carbon when the water color goes south).
How do I treat all of my animals for ich? Removing them one at a time will not irradicate the parasite from the tank and I don't want to lose my inverts.
Please Assist.

Hi:
IMO you have a choice, either decide to treat the fish or not. These "reef-safe" treatments are hit and miss propositions. Some people report they work, other do not. AS you know the only two tried and true methods to eliminate ich is hyposalinity or copperbased meds (cupramine is the best).
If you can pull all your fish out of the main tank, and treat them in a quarentine tank setup using hyposalinity for 45days, while leaving th emain tank fishless for 45days you should be in good shape.
Do a search here for hyposalinity TerryB must have described it in detail by now
