Lost some fish due to ich. Will ich continue to survive in my tank even though there is no host. If so, for how long?

Ich requires fish for a portion of its lifecycle. If your tank has no fish in it the ich will die off. One month is usually recommended. After that the tank should be ich-free. You should consider setting up a quarantine tank so this does not happen again. I have done this after having had an outbreak myself.
