Well if quarrantine is not an option all you can do is feed garlic (to boost their immune system) and try to reduce stress as much as possible. If you don't have corals I would leave the lights off and be sure the fish have lots of hiding places so they feel secure.
Without quarrantine and leaving the tank fish free for 6-8 weeks you will have ich as long as you have the tank. What you strive for is to enhance the immune system of the fish so they can develop an immunity and fight the infection.
