It seems to be a greatly debated topic. Is ICH part of a normal tank and with good water quality it lays dormant, or is can it be completely removed from your tank.
put the nori on clips and the tang will find it evenutally, it might take a few sheets. remember to take out the sheet the next day if it is uneaten. you dont want it to mess up your water quality.

Yes but it mostly depends on whether it enters your tank in the first place and if so, if its capable of being sustained even in the most minute, trace (non-visible) form.
I'm not sure why anyone would think it isn't possible. Don't they teach us all about the old experiment with the maggots and the meat? Believing Ich just has to exist in every tank is like believing maggots come from rotting meat. Like the maggots, the ich has to come from somewhere.
Don't bring it in and it can't be there.
Don't give it the only food it can eat (live fish) and it will die out.
Having a tank without it is the easy part. Making sure the fish you bring in don't have it at the moment they drop into your ich free tank is the tricky part. :wink: I think two months in proper hyposalinity at 12-14ppt is enough to make 99% sure your fish doesn't carry that particular parasite.
