Ich is a parasite. Once it is in your tank then you need to remove and QT all fish for 4-6 weeks. (The disease thread more fully explains this). With the fish removed, the parasite cannot host on anything and dies out.

I completely agree. You have to get the parasite out of your tank. You can remove your rock and inverts if you do not have true live sand (came wet in a bag and full of life) or you can set up a qt to treat.
