I have to take down my tank to move to another location. I know there is ich in my tank right now but im trying to understand if getting rid of it now will only be a short term thing.
So if i was to keep all my fish in QT tank with copper for 6 weeks leaving no fish in my DT i know that will kill the ich in the short term but if i QT all new fish will it just come back anyway? Please forgive my ignorance on the subject i have a basic understanding of ich now but thats about it.
you are on the correct path IMO. Run the display fallow for 6 weeks while your fish are getting copper for at least a month in the QT tank. All ich in display and on the fish will be eradicated.
I dont understand why you are saying that if you QT all new fish it will just come back anyway. If you QT all new fish and run copper/prazi on them then you will never re-introduce ich in your system. You will be good to go long term as long as you dont slack on the QT'ing
