Welcome to SWF!!! How did your tank crash? How long have you had it? It is best to address any possible issues before we think about new fish for the tank. Please give us some background info. Start with your current water readings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, SG, and temp.

You have to remove the remaining chromis for six weeks. Ich is still in your display. You should set up a quarantine tank to prevent this from happening again. If you qt everything new going in then you will not have to worry about parasites at all.

ive treated the whole tank with "reef safe" medication, so it should be gone. but it came in on either a pom pom crab or a fire shrimp, and i didnt no that inverts carried it. my current stock is 1 chromis, 1 arrow head crab, pom pom crab, fire shrimp, peppermint shrimp, condi anem. , and a few shrooms so i think im done with inverts for now i just need a few new fish, any more suggestions

Reef safe meds do not kill ick, they keep it off of the body but not completely. Enough ich is in your tank to live on. Can you set up a 10 gallon qt to house the chromis? You can use the tank for future purchases so that this never becomes an issue again.
