Other than that, I have never used the product.
How can I be sure that all ich were killed?

They will be if the tank runs fishless for 6 weeks. They will not have a host to survive and replicate off of.

Some of the web keep saying that marine ich could not be killed or speed up their stage by incresing the tank temperature from 27 to 32 c' ....... That's fact?

You could do that, but if you are going to let the tank run for at least 6 weeks without fish, it is unneccessary. The ich will die in 6 weeks regardless of how warm the water is.

now 33 c' without fish...... How long can it last in my tank with dosing of some products such as KENT.
The just need to speed up ich in Trophont and Tromites stage to free swimming stage and it would be killed by the mention products.

Can you tell me a bit more about this 100% organic method...tks
(I have lots of corals and inverts....and just don't have a spare tank to quarantine)

Stop Parasite is 100% organic, in that it will not affect corals, inverts, rock, macro algae, etc.
Well I can't exactly say how long it can last with those products. All products are different and each case of ich is a little different. If you have it without fish now though, you might as well and not dose anything and just be patient and wait the six weeks. That will indeed get rid of it.

Have you used "Stop Parasite" on your main tank before?

 

[lion_crazz]

Yes, and there was no ill effects as long as you have a kH and pH test kit and know those levels are stable. I have used it in tanks with live rock, inverts (snails, hermits, starfish, feather dusters), corals, macroalgae, and fish.

Tks for the input...I'll give it a shot.

 

[lion_crazz]

Okay, good luck. Like I said, just make sure you know your kH levels in your tank before you start dosing it.
