U can't get rid of the ich in the tank unless u go fishless for 76 days.

Another way is to go for hyposalinity treatment.

Medic can help control but will not eliminate.

For me, i tear down display and catch all fish to quarantine with cupramine no choice, the “feed well and ich will go away method dont work for me”. Display will go fallow for 3 months. after that outbreak i dare not don’t quarantine.

i quarantine with sandbed and marine pure to control ammonia as i tink ammonia also a big killer if u cant keep up with water change in QT, i dose cupramine at half dose and maintain at 0.1 (salifert) works for me, need to dose more with sandbed as they will absorb copper, alternatively you can follow traditional method of bare bottom with sponge filter, i maintain about 2 weeks until no spot seen den change water and do prazipro treatment. after prazi den change water and monitor again, if no spots den likely is clear for display. My 2 cents.
