Lol almost enough said. So i was at ***** today and they have a ball of green zoo's the size of my fist for 34 bucks. A steal compared to other stores around here. However there system is infected with ich. The whole system is tied together. I want it real bad can i do a fresh water dip on it or something or maybe set up a quarantine tank so the ich dies off of it? any suggestions would be awesome

Yep, in a hospital/holding tank free of fish, any Ich that is brought in with the Zoas will die-off in 6-8weeks.
No dip is 100% guaranteed effective.

I wouldn't care if it was free --- I wouldn't support tanks full of ich and risk introducing it into my system (again).

Seeing as how the concern with corals and Ich, is probably Tomont cysts (Ich still in "egg sacks" that have stuck into the coral), not active free-swimming cysts, the concentration of iodine would probably have to be to high and you'll likely kill the coral first.
I iodine dipped a Gorgonian, because it came from an LFS that had a few tangs with it. They were clean, but didn't want to chance. No Ich, but the gorg died shortly after.

True, it's not worth getting ick in your tank. I've lost a whole tank of fish to stupidity last year and I would not do that again.
