yup , the normal itch parasite is in the tank, it is very hard to get rid all of it...

unless u go fishless for at least 30days or hypo for min 6-8 weeks to totally eliminate the ich parasite in the tank.

UV control by killing the parasite passing through the unit but cant totally eliminate. ozone is a faster and more effective but more complicated way to kill parasite.

however if ur fishes are strong , they will fight off the parasite themselves. like immune system , after a while , they are vaccine against it.

You can also try feeding them (if they are eating) Dr. Bassleer's pellets with enriched vitamins to boost immune system.

Invest in Ozone? It can also help to skim better :)
