See I don’t know what I should do as I only have a 5 gallon QT. Not big enough for yellow tail, one green Chromis, two clowns and three PJ cardinals. What should I doIf you want to get RID of the ich, you have to remove every single fish from the tank, place them into quarantine, treat them there with some variety of copper, and do not put them back into your main tank until BOTH they are cured and 76 days have passed.
Ich doesnt affect coral, only fish. But ich can be carried into a tank by coral. The best most effective way is to put all fish I to a quarantine tank and run copper power at 2.0ppm and let the display tank sit without fish for 76 days.What do you suggest i do with my corals to get rid of the ich.

Quarantine doesnt have to be that intimidating. A tank, with a hang on back filter, ammonia alert badge, and some PVCc pipe and a powerhead is all that's needed. A bottle of bio spira will keep ammonia levels low to non existant.
I qt with a 40 breeder and the exact setup above, I've quarantined 8 fish at a time and have never had ammonia issues with this configuration.
