So after 8 weeks of treating ich by going no fish in the DT I can finally say I'm done. And it was worth it. The inhabitants look happy and healthy after a close to 4 weeks in QT.

Thanks Lenny for the healthy fish. I caught some with a trap but most with the lights off and a flash light. The tangs in these pics are actually new fish I got from SWC when they first opened a month ago. I'd been fattening them up in QT and now I'm feeding less. The only other fish are a false clown and a purple tang which is still in QT and getting put in later after the hippos get used to the new tank. I had some damsels which I gave away and a royal gamma which fell victim to ich and started it all.

Yes my plan was to go 6 weeks but it took 2 weeks to bring the salinity back up to match the DT's with water from the DT. The 2 weeks also allowed me to observe any symptom that may come from the DT. And at the end I didn't have to acclimate since the water in both the QT and DT are identical.

being paranoid about putting anything else in the tank that will corrupt the corals or fish is all part of the hobby.

if you want to play it safe you should QT all fish and corals that you buy before putting them in the tank.
