Ich!! Ahhhhh!

[salisbury a d]

I am just starting to restock my tank with a few fish. Before Christmas all the fish died.
Yes I wated to get new fish.
Since the middle of February I have had a Flame angel and a royal gramma. Also my watchman goby survived the "plague."
I just purchased two false percula clownfish last week.
Now the fish have ich. All but the goby.
What should I do I do not have a tank big enough to house all four.
The angel is the only fish that will go up to the cleaner shrimp and when he does it is when I am not around and when the lights are off.
Help!! Can I lower the salinity in the tank with corals???
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
pH 8.2
Salinity 1.021
I know a little low.
How can I catch them without tearing apart the tank again.
At the end of January we had to move the tank.

The person at the lfs once told me that if there was an anemone the clowns went into the anemone would kill off the ich.
Is this true?

It is not terribly bad yet.
Only a few spots per fish.
My tank is 46 gallons and there are 4 fish.
What did you mean by the quarentine tank being
"An ounce of prevention"

They are fine: eating, swimming properly,
fine except a few spots of ich.
I mixed water yesterday for a quarentine tank and I am assemblig bits and pieces for a filter.

Feed them garlic soaked food. You can get liquid garlic from a health food store. It takes about a month but it works well. You have to be patient. I have had excellent luck putting about 10-15 drops of garlic into the cup that I am melting a brine cube in. I also soak green marine algae sheets with garlic and hang on a lettuce clip. It is a slow process but the fish end up very healthy. It has helped my fish get over fairly bad cases of ich. Good Luck
